  Is it possible to filter an IADsContainer using a wildcard?

  May 18, 2012 01:28 PM|LINK

  Hi,

  Is there a way to filter the results of an IADsContainer using a wildcard?  Given the code below,

  taken from MSDN, is there a way to request that only users starting with, let's say, test* be returned?

  I know it's possible using ldap calls, but I can't find any references using IADS.

  Thanks.

  IADsContainer *pCont;
  IADs *pChild;
  IADs *pADs;
   
  HRESULT hr = ADsGetObject(L"LDAP://OU=Sales,DC=Fabrikam,DC=COM",
                            IID_IADsContainer,
                            (void**)&pCont);
  
  if(FAILED(hr)){goto Cleanup;}
  
  LPWSTR pszArray[] = { L"adminDescription" };
  DWORD dwNumber = sizeof(pszArray)/sizeof(LPWSTR);
  hr = ADsBuildVarArrayStr( pszArray, dwNumber, &var);
  if(FAILED(hr)){goto Cleanup;}
  
  hr = pCont->put_Hints( var );
  if(FAILED(hr)){goto Cleanup;}
  
  VariantClear(&var);
   
  hr = pCont->QueryInterface(IID_IADs, (void**)pADs);
  if(FAILED(hr)){goto Cleanup;}
   
  hr = pADs->Get(CComBSTR("adminDescription"), var);
   
  LPWSTR pszUsers = {L"user"};
  dwNumber = sizeof(pszUsers)/sizeof(LPWSTR);
  hr = ADsBuildVarArrayStr(pszUsers, dwNumber, &var);
  hr = pCont->put_Filter( var );
  VariantClear(&var);
   
  // Enumerate user objects in the container.
  IEnumVARIANT *pEnum = NULL;
  hr = ADsBuildEnumerator(pCont, &pEnum);
  pCont->Release();    // Not required when users are enumerated.
   
  ULONG lFetch;
  VariantClear(&var);
  while (SUCCEEDED(ADsEnumerateNext(pEnum, 1, &var, &lFetch)) &&
                        lFetch==1) {
      hr = V_DISPATCH(&var)->QueryInterface(IID_IADs, (void**)&pChild)
      if(SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
          BSTR bstrName;
          pChild->get_Name(&bstrName);
          printf(" %S\n", bstrName);
          SysFreeString(bstrName);
          pChild->Release();
      }
      VariantClear(&var);
  }
  Cleanup:
      if(pADs)
          pADs->Release();
  
      if(pCont)
          pCont->Release();
  
      if(pChild)
          pChild->Release();
  
      VariantClear(&var);
