  How do you set the "memberof" attribute

  Jun 28, 2011 04:19 PM|LINK

  OK here's the deal I can set all the other properties and create the account.  However, I can't set the "memberof" attribute.

  users.Properties["memberof"].Value = "CN=dkdkd,DC=dkdk etc..."

  As I understand the "memberof" attribute is a "backlinked" property (read-only) and has to be set using another method. 

  Can someone show an example as to how this is set

  You have to add the user to an active directory grou. You cannot edit it here

  You will need to search for the group and then add the user to it using the user's Distinguished name.

  You can see examples for this and other things here, http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/everythingInAD.aspx

  You have to add the user's distinguishedname to the member attribute.

  Try this...

  groupEntry.Properties["member"].Add( "CN=dkdkd,DC=dkdk");
