| Directory Services |
The IADsLocality interface is a dual interface that inherits from IADs. It is designed to represent the geographical location, or region, of a directory entity. This interface is one of several that provide support for directory services to organize accounts by country/region, locality (state/city/region), organization (company), or organizational unit (department). This interface manages locality, the IADsO interface manages organization, and the IADsOU interface manages the organization unit.
When a directory service provides hierarchical groupings of directory entries by country/region, locality, organization, or organization unit, you can use this and the related interfaces to expand the directory tree accordingly. In this case, the IADsLocality interface is implemented by a locality object that implements the IADsContainer interface.
The IADsLocality interface inherits the methods of the standard COM interfaces:
In addition, IADsLocality defines the following methods.
| Method | Description |

| get_Description | Gets and sets the description of the geographical region as represented by this object. |

| put_PostalAddress | Gets and sets the main post office address of this region. |
