Example Code for Moving an Object

The following C++ code example shows how to move an object in the domain. This example uses ADSI.

[C++]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <atlbase.h>
#include <activeds.h>
#include <ntldap.h>

/***************************************************************************

	MoveObject()

	Moves an object in the directory.

	Parameters:

	padsToMove - Contains an IADs interface pointer that represents the 
	object to move.

	padsDestination - Contains an IADs interface pointer that represents the 
	container to move the object to.

***************************************************************************/

HRESULT MoveObject(IADs *padsToMove, IADs *padsDestination)
{
	_ASSERT(padsToMove);
	_ASSERT(padsDestination);

	HRESULT hr;
 
	// Get the ADsPath of the object to move.
	CComBSTR sbstrPathToMove;
	hr = padsToMove->get_ADsPath(&sbstrPathToMove); 
	if(FAILED(hr))
	{
		return hr;
}

	// Get an IADsContainer instance from the destination.
	CComPtr<IADsContainer> spContainerDestination;
	hr = padsDestination->QueryInterface(IID_IADsContainer, (void**)&spContainerDestination);
	if(FAILED(hr))
	{
		return hr;
}

	// Move the object.
	CComPtr<IDispatch> spDispNewObject;
	hr = spContainerDestination->MoveHere(sbstrPathToMove, NULL, &spDispNewObject);

	return hr;
}

The following Visual Basic code example shows how to move an object in the domain. This example uses ADSI.
