Talk:Active Directory/Connect

This task has only 1 example, for more than 8 months.

It just oriented for Windows programming. And Active Directory does not exist anymore. (See Wikipedia, now it's Active Directory Domain Services)

Probaly, this VBScript example it's not working anymore.

Most languages can't do this, a "Omit" most be do in more than 70% of RC langugaes.

Should it be deleted (With Search for a User in Active Directory)? --Guga360 21:09, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Since they're so limited and especially if they're obsolete, I wouldn't be opposed to deleting them. I've never even heard of active directory anyway :p. --Mwn3d 21:13, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I feel these tasks should be removed. I don't have any really solid justification though. How about this: Since Active Directory is not AFAIK a widely-implemented and used protocol, these tasks would not show much that is informative about the languages they would be implemented in. (However, I don't want to also justify removing e.g. XML, SOAP, SQL ... tasks -- I think the distinction should be that if there is enough interest that the libraries for doing the protocol/whatever are in competition or otherwise refined to fit well with many languages, then it's reasonable to include such tasks in RC.) --Kevin Reid 22:16, 13 May 2009 (UTC), waving hands vigorously

Agree. These tasks haven't (hadn't?) any attractiveness (to me). --ShinTakezou 22:47, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Disagree. Sure the task needs a little refinement to keep up with modern terminology, but that's hardly that hard for someone who knows it. More seriously, we need to encourage someone with more Win coding chops (well, more than me) to do a second implementation. It must be possible to do; I believe it's not much more than LDAP... —Dkf 00:05, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
