>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?

According to MSDN it's "Included in Windows XP and Windows .NET Server" http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/netdir/adsi/iadssecurityutility.asp.
