I needed to search Active Directory on one of our Windows Servers today and couldn’t remember the application used to do the searching. One of my team members reminded me about LDP.exe. It’s a quick and easy way to search LDAP without installing any third party software. var dzone_url = ‘http://weblogs.asp.net/jgaylord/archive/2009/05/27/searching-ldap-on-windows-server.aspx’; var dzone_title = ‘Searching LDAP on Windows Server’; var dzone_blurb = ‘Searching LDAP on Windows Server’; var dzone_style = ‘1’;
