A quirk of Active Directory is that Organizational Units use an OU property rather than a CN property to define their place in the directory structure. In createobject messages you need to use CN= to create most objects. However, to allow you to create OUs we had to allow you to specify this with OU=MyNewOU.
Can I use the ActiveADAPTER Send Adapter with dynamic send ports?
Yes. The Send Adapter is fully compatible with dynamic ports.
A sample orchestration showing the use of ActiveADAPTER with dynamic send ports is included in the ActiveADAPTER\Samples folder.
My Solicit-Response Send Port Query Is Only Returning 1000 Results
Try adding the setting PageSize="1000" to your query parameters. For example:
<ActiveDirectoryQuery><Directives WhereToBind="LDAP://CN=Users, DC=test, DC=com" Filter="(objectCategory=user)" SearchScope="onelevel" PropertiesToReturn="cn" PageSize="1000"/></ActiveDirectoryQuery>
By default Active Directory only allows for a single page of 1000 results. By explicitly setting this value multiple pages (and hence all results) are returned.
What will ActiveADAPTER add to what I see in BizTalk Server?
After installing ActiveADAPTER you will see a new transport type option when configuring a send port or receive location. With BizTalk send ports, you can create, delete, rename, move, and modify Active Directory objects. With BizTalk receive locations, you can draw XML messages into BizTalk containing Active Directory query results.
On your Programs menu you will also have an ActiveADAPTER program group containing shortcuts to documentation, sample orchestrations and schemas to get you developing your solutions quickly.
