DirectorySearcher - Clauses and keywords for search

Hi All,

I am very new to working Active directory. After spending some time on web i was able to get code for getting users from active directory using DirectorySearcher class. However i am facing hard time in getting a list of all supported clauses and keywords of search.

The only link i was able to get is https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa746475(v=vs.85).aspx. But got only few keywords.

Kindly share links / list of keywords and clauses. Below are some i found;

&(objectClass=user)
(objectCategory=person)
(manager=...)
(!msExchResourceMetaData=ResourceType:Room)
(!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))
Also i tried creating a org chart using Visio and then with DirectorySearcher code. The visio files excludes virtual accounts such as feedback@abc,.com, meeting rooms, etc. but my Directory searcher code get them as welFrown . Kindly help.

I have worked on Active directory few years back and try to fetch lot of parameters from user menu, you can check below code


 DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://educe.com");
            DirectorySearcher Dsearch = new DirectorySearcher(entry);

            foreach (SearchResult sResultSet in Dsearch.FindAll())
            {

                // Login Name
                Console.WriteLine(GetProperty(sResultSet, "cn"));
                // First Name
                Console.WriteLine(GetProperty(sResultSet, "givenName"));
                // Middle Initials
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "initials"));
                // Last Name
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "sn"));
                // Address
                string tempAddress = GetProperty(sResultSet, "homePostalAddress");

                if (tempAddress != string.Empty)
                {
                    string[] addressArray = tempAddress.Split(';');
                    string taddr1, taddr2;
                    taddr1 = addressArray[0];
                    Console.Write(taddr1);
                    taddr2 = addressArray[1];
                    Console.Write(taddr2);
                }
                // title
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "title"));
                // company
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "company"));
                //state
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "st"));
                //city
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "l"));
                //country
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "co"));
                //postal code
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "postalCode"));
                // telephonenumber
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "telephoneNumber"));
                //extention
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "otherTelephone"));
                //fax
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "facsimileTelephoneNumber"));

                // email address
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "mail"));
                // Challenge Question

                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "extensionAttribute3"));
                // Company Relation ship Exits
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "extensionAttribute4"));
                //status
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "extensionAttribute5"));
                // Assigned Sales Person
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "extensionAttribute6"));
                // Accept T and C
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "extensionAttribute7"));
                // jobs
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "extensionAttribute8"));
                string tEamil = GetProperty(sResultSet, "extensionAttribute9");

                // email over night
                if (tEamil != string.Empty)
                {
                    string em1, em2, em3;
                    string[] emailArray = tEamil.Split(';');
                    em1 = emailArray[0];
                    em2 = emailArray[1];
                    em3 = emailArray[2];
                    Console.Write(em1 + em2 + em3);

                }
                // email daily emerging market
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "extensionAttribute10"));
                // email daily corporate market
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "extensionAttribute11"));
                // AssetMgt Range
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "extensionAttribute12"));
                // date of account created
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "whenCreated"));
                // date of account changed
                Console.Write(GetProperty(sResultSet, "whenChanged"));
            }
