ADSI in a C++ Application (IISPropertyAttribute linker error)

Reply Contact

Hi,

I have to write a little tool that configures some aspects of an IIS 6 via the C++ ADSI API.

One of its tasks is to retrieve information wheter an entry is inherited. Regarding to the MSDN documentation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms525121.aspx) the IISPropertyAttribute Interface is what i need. So i tried the following to get this interface from an path:

ADsGetObject(path, IID_IADs, (void **)&pADs);
IISPropertyAttribute *pPropAttr = NULL;
pADs->QueryInterface(IID_IISPropertyAttribute, (void **)&pPropAttr);

The code compiles but cant be linked (unresolved external symbol _IID_IISPropertyAttribute). Querying an other interface (e.g. IISApp3) works as expected:

ADsGetObject(path, IID_IADs, (void **)&pADs);
IISApp3 *pApp3 = NULL;
pADs->QueryInterface( IID_IISApp3, (void **)&pApp3 );

I wonder what im doing wrong here (wrong ADSI libs? .. they are from the plattform sdk).

Thanks in advance for your help,

Holger

Hi Holger,

Activeds.lib library is required to link ADSI program, this is a library included in the Windows SDK (Platform SDK). Please include it in the linking libraries in your project.

Hi Zhao Ji Ma,

Thanks for your posting. Unfortunately this is no solution to my problem because (maybe i didnt make myself clear enough there) i already link against that lib (and also adsi.lib).
