POLDAP Query for all owners of group
text
Body
copied!<h2>Problem</h2> <p>I need to write an LDAP query that given a <code>distinguishedName</code> for a <code>group</code> will return a list of all <code>users</code> who are owners/managers of the <code>group</code></p> <h3>Motivation</h3> <p>I am writing a VBA script that will allow an excel user to input a <code>DisplayName</code> for a <code>group</code> in a cell and press a button to receive (1) a list of members and (2) a separate list of group owners.</p> <h3>Progress</h3> <p>The first part works fine. I search the directory for <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7187994/memberof-vs-groupmembership-in-ldap-liferay">all users who have the group in their <code>memberof</code> field.</a></p> <p>For the owners, I successfully pulled the group's <code>managedBy</code> field, but it only contained information for a single user. This is the same user that appears in the "Owner" field when the group is viewed in Outlook's address book. There are many more users with ownership permissions for the list.</p> <h2>Examples</h2> <p>Here are the two (slightly modified) queries I'm using now:</p> <h3>Query 1: Group Members (works)</h3> <pre><code><LDAP://dc=DOMAIN,dc=com>;(&(memberof=CN=GroupName));DisplayName;Subtree </code></pre> <h3>Query 2: Group Owners (single user returned)</h3> <pre><code><LDAP://dc=DOMAIN,dc=com>;(&(objectCategory=group)(DisplayName="Group Name"));managedBy;Subtree </code></pre> <h2>The Question</h2> <p>How can I modify Query 2 to return all users with management permissions for the group?</p> <h2>Related Questions</h2>
