I have built a sort of telephone/people directory on an intranet using ASP. The backend is a Microsoft Access which contains all of the contact details about everyone in the company. Basically, you search for people by name and the results of your search are displayed in a dynamic table which is populated from the data stored in the Access Database.
This works fine but I have been tasked by my manager to find a way of producing the same result but using the user records Stored within Active Directory. The logic being that when AD is updated so is the intranet, and solves the problem of having 2 databases containing staff info.
My problem is how do I connect and use AD as a data source. The web server is IIS6 and were are using windows server 2003?
Can I do this in ASP or do I have to use asp.net?
Please help?
