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