i need function recursively groups names specified user (as function argument) fellow member of. function header should samaccountname username want groups from:

public list<string> getusersgroups(string samaccountname);

i hope can help me.

thanks in advance.

i'm assuming problem active directory side knowledge, not c#.

basically task ldap action, i'll give examples using adfind quick , handy tool output ldap queries csv file example. functions have create yourself.

there 2 functions need:

function 1, find dn samaccountname: adfind -dsq -f samaccountname=username

function 2, find groups, including nested ones: adfind -f "(member:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=cn=userdn,ou=users,dc=domain,dc=com)" samaccountname -list

please find adfind syntax joeware website: http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/adfind/usage.htm
