Listing All Active Directory Groups

问题

The following code lists some, but not all, Active Directory Groups. Why?

I am trying to list all security groups, distribution groups, computer groups etc. Have I specified the wrong objectClass?

private static void ListGroups()
{
    DirectoryEntry objADAM = default(DirectoryEntry);
    DirectoryEntry objGroupEntry = default(DirectoryEntry);
    DirectorySearcher objSearchADAM = default(DirectorySearcher);
    SearchResultCollection objSearchResults = default(SearchResultCollection);
    SearchResult myResult=null;

    objADAM = new DirectoryEntry(LDAP);
    objADAM.RefreshCache();
    objSearchADAM = new DirectorySearcher(objADAM);
    objSearchADAM.Filter = "(&(objectClass=group))";
    objSearchADAM.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;
    objSearchResults = objSearchADAM.FindAll();

    // Enumerate groups 
    try
    {
        fileGroups.AutoFlush = true;
        if (objSearchResults.Count != 0)
        {
            foreach (SearchResult objResult in objSearchResults)
            {
                myResult = objResult;
                objGroupEntry = objResult.GetDirectoryEntry();
                Console.WriteLine(objGroupEntry.Name);
                fileGroups.WriteLine(objGroupEntry.Name.Substring(3));
            }
        }
        else
        {
            throw new Exception("No groups found");
        }  
    } 
    catch (PrincipalException e)
    {
        fileErrorLog.AutoFlush = true;
        fileErrorLog.WriteLine(e.Message + " " + myResult.Path);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        throw new Exception(e.Message);
    }
}

If you're on .NET 3.5 or newer, you can use a PrincipalSearcher and a "query-by-example" principal to do your searching:

// create your domain context
PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain);

// define a "query-by-example" principal - here, we search for a GroupPrincipal 
GroupPrincipal qbeGroup = new GroupPrincipal(ctx);

// create your principal searcher passing in the QBE principal    
PrincipalSearcher srch = new PrincipalSearcher(qbeGroup);

// find all matches
foreach(var found in srch.FindAll())
{
    // do whatever here - "found" is of type "Principal" - it could be user, group, computer.....          
}

If you haven't already - absolutely read the MSDN article Managing Directory Security Principals in the .NET Framework 3.5 which shows nicely how to make the best use of the new features in System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement

Try filter "(objectcategory=group)" Found solution here

DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("ldap://ldap.gaurangjadia.com", "scott", "tiger");

DirectorySearcher dSearch = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
dSearch.Filter = "(&(objectClass=group))";
dSearch.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;

SearchResultCollection results = dSearch.FindAll();

for (int i = 0; i < results.Count; i++) {
    DirectoryEntry de = results[i].GetDirectoryEntry();

    //TODO with "de"
}

I tried this and it worked

    public ArrayList GetAllGroupNames(string ipAddress, string ouPath)
    {
        DirectorySearcher deSearch = new DirectorySearcher();
        deSearch.SearchRoot = GetRootDirectoryEntry(ipAddress, ouPath);
        deSearch.Filter = "(&(objectClass=group))";
        SearchResultCollection results = deSearch.FindAll();
        if (results.Count > 0)
        {
            ArrayList groupNames = new ArrayList();

            foreach (SearchResult group in results)
            {
                var entry = new DirectoryEntry(group.Path, UserName, Password);
                string shortName = entry.Name.Substring(3, entry.Name.Length - 3);
                groupNames.Add(shortName);
            }

            return groupNames;
        }
        else
        {
            return new ArrayList();
        }
    }

    private DirectoryEntry GetRootDirectoryEntry(string ipAddress, string domainPath, string username, string password)
    {
        var ldapPath = "LDAP://" + ipAddress + "/" + domainPath;
        return new DirectoryEntry(ldapPath, username, password, AuthenticationTypes.Secure);
    }

To retrieve a set of results that is larger than 1000 items, you must set SizeLimit to its default value (zero) and set PageSize to a value that is less than or equal to 1000.

objSearchADAM.PageSize = 1000;

you can get the all ad group details by the below powershell and if you want particular Name against of AD Group then write filter instead of *

Get-ADGroup -Filter * -properties * | Export-csv c:\csv\new.csv
