[python-win32] enumerating children of an active directory container

[Wilbert, Matt (ENV)]

Jens,

Thanks for the timely assistance.  It was the obj. _NewEnum() method
that I was missing.

Subject: [python-win32] enumerating children of an active directory container

Hi,

I am trying to do some work with Active Directory from python 
(ActivePython 2.2.1), but I am having a couple of problems.

Connecting to the domain root using an LDAP:// name works fine,
I can see various properties of the object thus named, , but I
cannot figure out a way to enumerate its children--it appears to
be unimplemented.  Is that correct?  Should I just use ADO?

Also, I can't figure out how I would apply a filter, assuming
that I could do an enumeration.

Thanks,

Matt Wilbert

Attached is a very short script that demonstrates child enumeration. You 
give it a path and it prints out everything in that node and all child 
nodes.
