Greetings,
I have to do an LDAP search and all I have been given is the FQDN host name and the search root in the format OU=xxx,O=yyy,c=zz.

Does anyone know how to construct the directory entry using both of those?
Thanks

    Its OK Ive worked it out:
    $Directory = New-Object DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://<hostname>/<x500searchroot>","<x500account>","<password>")
    $searcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher
    $searcher.SearchRoot = $Directory
