Finding An LDAP URL?

Question

I would like to access the company server's Active Directory so I can write a simple phonebook program. It would seem that I need to use LDAP to connect to it in order to grab a recordset. Is there anyway to figure out what the LDAP URL is based on settings and properties in Outlook (or otherwise)?

Can some one help me to understand these Ldap field and to fill the values!

Thanks

Answer 1

An alternative quick lookup is to run nslookup from Windows - Run

This should give you the Default Server. See here for more info:

You can then connect with AD Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb963907.aspx) to make sure that it is correct.
