I am trying to make use of this on a Windows 2000 machine. My aim is to interigate the security on the server ( specifically rights for files etc). the documentation in the November SDK mentions a IADsSecurityUtility, which seems to be what i need, but i cannot see this in the Active DS library within VFP7. just to check i have also tried VB6 & VC6 and still cannot see it, although i can see other objects mentioned in the documentation. We are useing SBS 2000 on the server. i have checked out the microsoft site, and the ADSI 2.5 is built into Win 2000, and has not been updated. so where is this option?
