Active Directory Attribute List Using c#

Question

How i get the list of active directory user attributes(not of particular user i.e.all attributes) e.g.cn,mail etc. using c#?

Answer 1

Expanding on marc_s's answer here. Here is a complete code example that prints the common name and the actual attribute name.

ActiveDirectorySchema schema = ActiveDirectorySchema.GetCurrentSchema();
ActiveDirectorySchemaClass person = schema.FindClass("user");
foreach( ActiveDirectorySchemaProperty property in person.GetAllProperties() )
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", property.CommonName, property.Name);
}

Example output.

Common-Name = cn
Instance-Type = instanceType
NT-Security-Descriptor = nTSecurityDescriptor
Object-Category = objectCategory
Object-Class = objectClass
Object-Sid = objectSid
SAM-Account-Name = sAMAccountName
Account-Expires = accountExpires
...
