Asynchronous Searches

Table of contents:

Summary

The first part of the chapter dug into the advanced searching topics that tend to affect all types of queries and operations, such as timeouts and performance optimization. We also demonstrated how we can search for objects in multiple domains in the same Active Directory forest using the global catalog, or find objects in other naming contexts via referrals.

In the second part of the chapter, we covered the advanced searching features supported by Active Directory and ADAM that were introduced to SDS in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework. We included detailed explanations and samples for the following new features:

  • Virtual List Views
  • Deleted object searches
  • Directory synchronization
  • Attribute scope query(ies)
  • Extended DN queries
  • Security descriptor searches

We concluded with a departure from our normal discussion by demonstrating how we can perform asynchronous searches using the System.DirectoryServices.Protocols namespace.
