Re: Getting group sAMAccountName lists

[Michael Ströder <michael@stroeder.com>]

This question is seems to be very specific to MS Active Directory since the 
most helpful answer is AD-specific. You should ask in an appropriate AD 
forum, e.g. the MS news groups (probably how to use the user entry attribute 
'memberOf' ;-).

Ciao, Michael.
