1-3. Extend Active Directory Users and Computers to Enumerate Group Memberships

Solution overview

Type of solution	Tool (HTA)
Features and tools	HTA, MMC snap-in task pads, Active Directory display specifiers
Solution summary	Extend the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in so that you can right-click a user, computer, or group and produce a report of its group memberships, including nested groups. Learn how to integrate custom tools into MMC snap-ins.
Benefits	Answer the question, “What groups does ____ belong to?” Make group memberships more visible than what is possible using the standard GUI toolset.
Preview	There are two ways we can integrate our custom HTA into the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. When a user is selected, a task appears in the left margin of the MMC details pane. Alternatively, a command appears on the context menu. Typically, you will use just one of these two methods. Figure 1-8 illustrates both.
