The IADsComputer interface is a dual interface that inherits from IADs. It is designed to represent and manage a computer, such as a server, client, workstation, and so on, on a network. You can manipulate the properties of this interface to access data about a computer. The data includes the operating system, the make and model, processor, computer identifier, its network addresses, and so on.
The IADsComputer interface inherits the methods of the standard COM interfaces:
