Provider Support of ADSI Interfaces

The following table lists a brief description of the interfaces supported by the providers included with ADSI for Windows 2000 and DS Client. An entry marked with "Yes" indicates that at least one ADSI object of the specified provider supports the associated interface. "No" indicates that no object of the provider supports the interface in this release. In the future, currently unsupported interfaces may become supported by the system-supplied providers.

For more information about ADSI provider-specific implementation details, see:
