i'm an adminisrator of big network (over 15,000 users), and i'm using active directory (windows 2000) to configure all users and desktops in the network.
i have wrote script in perl that checks some usefull stuff about the users and generates a txt file with the information.
but now i want to convert (and need to...) to more nicer program cause in the future i'm going to add more stuff to this program.
i already wrote small aplication with some tools in vb .net and i want to add this and don't know how:
i need a form where i have browse button and text box, when i will click the browse i need to see a screen like this (browse.jpg), but a one where i can browse all the groups in the active directory, then when i selct a group and cliks ok in the text box will appear the full path of this group.
i have read in msdn about active directory and found a resource called "DirectorySearcher", but not much luck, can't find how to this... (and i'm little new to .net).
so if any1 knows about some api or a way how i can do this, i'll be very thankfull, cause i need finish it until monday :(
8 to 8.1 was a pretty big overhaul, wasn’t it? 8.1 wasn’t really a new version of Windows. Is that what you were referring to in the tinkering comment?
Impressive Microsoft has done this without saving for Windows 12.
Pretty sure this the first time they’ve done an in-version start menu revamp (Windows 8 tinkering aside)? 🤔
I use the start menu the same way but what it comes down to is that wasn’t what was intended, it works like that and I appreciate it, but there is no need for all the unnecessary cruft that comes along with it for that. Look how simple Spotlight is on macOS to perform the same function. If I could kill off the start menu from running altogether, I’d be perfectly content because I could use Powertoys Run.
Then it comes down to that not everyone uses it the same way you and I do.
