I want to know or if it is possible, with the latest version of Kix, to read information from Active Directory when loging in with a NT4 client on a W2k domain?
The problem is that we need to store some for the clients somewhere and the fields that NT4 can read standard are already in use. There is no DS client installed.

yes, it is possible to read and write informations in AD but you must have DS client installed on your workstations because it is this client that implement LDAP objects.

in my company, we have more than 3000 NT 4 workstations in an AD domain. DS client has been installed before migration to AD and there is no problem.

I have several scripts the export AD data every night. The script was developped and tested on my NT 4 workstation.
For speed, they are now running directly on a GC.

I am not sure but it seems you need kix 4.22 to write in AD because of a problem with the "put" method in older versions.

yes

as AD is LDAP v3 compatible, you can also use an LDAP client but with the DS client, it's very easy and you can find examples on the board.
