Hello,

Yes, it is possible. For example, you can use PowerShell scripts. The following code sample outputs the values of the Department and Description properties for a user. In the script, the $userDN variable specifies the distinguished name (DN) of the user.

[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi")

$admNS = New-Object "Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.AdmNamespace"
$admService = $admNS.GetServiceDirectly("localhost")

$userDN = "CN=John Smith,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=com"
$user = $admService.OpenObject("Adaxes://$userDN", $NULL, $NULL, 0)

Write-Host $user.Department
Write-Host $user.Description
