I have been researching on the field of proper reference of an entity in the AD. However since I've very little or none, I got to do some testing by trying to use GUID and Native GUID as the primary object identification. They do not change in the case of renaming, or setting different permissions, however I don't want to run into problems later by simply not asking here... So please tell me the difference between GUID and Native GUID, and please could you elaborate more than just the provider difference. Moreover I had the difficulty of getting an easy listing of the groups on my AD since there is no entity (container class) Groups. Is there any way to query groups like CN=Groups. Thank you in advance, Dragomanov Andon
They are the same data. The Guid is in Guid "binary" format and the NativeGuid shows the same data as an octet string, which is just the binary bytes represented as hex pairs. Joe K.
