Active Directory to MSSQL

1. Create a database (here it is OPE), with required columns.
2.  Open a ‘New Query’  window in  Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express and put the below SQL Code there.
3. Find and Replace(Ctrl+H) all occurance of DC=epillars and DC=local with the appropriate values from the Active Directory.
4. Execute(F5) the Query.
5. The Query will create a Linked Server ADSI(Server Objects->Linked Servers->ADSI) and a view  ADView(Databases->OPE->Views->dbo.ADView) which contains users on active directory. Then the Users table in OPE database will be updated with the active directory users details.
