Constants

 
ADSTYPE_INVALID
Value: 0
The data type is not valid
ADSTYPE_DN_STRING
The string is of Distinguished Name (path) of a directory service object.
ADSTYPE_CASE_EXACT_STRING
The string is of the case-sensitive type.
ADSTYPE_CASE_IGNORE_STRING
The string is of the case-insensitive type.
ADSTYPE_PRINTABLE_STRING
The string is displayable on screen or in print.
ADSTYPE_NUMERIC_STRING
The string is of a numeral to be interpreted as text.
ADSTYPE_BOOLEAN
The data is of a Boolean value.
ADSTYPE_INTEGER
The data is of an integer value.
ADSTYPE_OCTET_STRING
The string is of a byte array.
ADSTYPE_UTC_TIME
The data is of the universal time as expressed in Universal Time Coordinate (UTC).
ADSTYPE_LARGE_INTEGER
The data is of a long integer value.
ADSTYPE_PROV_SPECIFIC
The string is of a provider-specific string.
ADSTYPE_OBJECT_CLASS
Not used.
ADSTYPE_CASEIGNORE_LIST
The data is of a list of case insensitive strings.
ADSTYPE_OCTET_LIST
The data is of a list of octet strings.
ADSTYPE_PATH
The string is of a directory path.
ADSTYPE_POSTALADDRESS
The string is of the postal address type.
ADSTYPE_TIMESTAMP
The data is of a time stamp in seconds.
ADSTYPE_BACKLINK
The string is of a back link.
ADSTYPE_TYPEDNAME
The string is of a typed name.
ADSTYPE_HOLD
The data is of the Hold data structure.
ADSTYPE_NETADDRESS
The string is of a net address.
ADSTYPE_REPLICAPOINTER
The data is of a replica pointer.
ADSTYPE_FAXNUMBER
The string is of a fax number.
ADSTYPE_EMAIL
The data is of an email message.
ADSTYPE_NT_SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR
The data is a Windows security descriptor as represented by a byte array.
ADSTYPE_UNKNOWN
The data is of an undefined type.
ADSTYPE_DN_WITH_BINARY
The data is of ADS_DN_WITH_BINARY used for mapping a distinguished name to a nonvarying GUID. For more information, see Remarks.
ADSTYPE_DN_WITH_STRING
The data is of ADS_DN_WITH_STRING used for mapping a distinguished name to a nonvarying string value. For more information, see Remarks.

Remarks

When extending the active directory schema to add ADS_DN_WITH_BINARY, you must also specify the "otherWellKnownGuid" attribute definition. Add the following to the ldf file attribute definition: "omObjectClass:: KoZIhvcUAQEBCw=="

When extending the active directory schema to add ADS_DN_WITH_STRING, you must also specify the "otherWellKnownGuid" attribute definition. Add the following to the ldf file attribute definition: "omObjectClass:: KoZIhvcUAQEBDA=="

Because VBScript cannot read data from a type library, VBScript applications do not recognize symbolic constants, as defined above. Use the numerical constants instead to set the appropriate flags in your VBScript application. To use the symbolic constants as a good programming practice, write explicit declarations of such constants, as done here, in your VBScript application.
