By: Updated: 2011-12-27 Related: ProblemMy boss is asking for a list of email addresses and phone numbers for all users in the company. I know this data exists in Active Directory, so how can I access this data from SQL Server? In this tip we walk through how you can query Active Directory from within SQL Server Management Studio. SolutionIn this tip I'll show you how to query Active Directory using linked servers and the OPENQUERY command.
Create Linked ServerFirst thing we'll do is create our linked server, Active Directory Service Interface also known as ASDI, to Active Directory using the code below. SELECT. FROM OpenQuery (ADSI,'SELECT displayName, telephoneNumber, mail, mobile, facsimileTelephoneNumberFROM 'LDAP://DOMAIN.com/OU=Players,DC=DOMAIN,DC=com'WHERE objectClass = 'User') AS tblADSIORDORDER BY displaynameAs you can see this query will return Active Directory's Display Name, Telephone Number, Email Address, Mobile Number, and Fax Number. Also note, that when you query Active Directory it actually creates the SELECT statement backwards. I started the SELECT statement with SELECT displayname. But in the results pane it displayed displayName last as shown below.

Thanks!!!Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 1An error occurred while preparing the query 'SELECT samaccountnameFROM 'LDAP://ARCBRIDGE3.com/DC=ARCBRIDGE3,DC=com'WHERE objectClass = 'User' for execution against OLE DB provider 'ADSDSOObject' for linked server 'ADSI'Tuesday, February 28, 2012 - 9:52:59 AM - midwest guyWhy not use powershell you get the same results in a few lines of code no linked server needed. Using the Quest free powershell tools makes this a very easy process to implement.Wednesday, December 28, 2011 - 5:09:07 AM - DmytroFurther to my earlier message - sorry, I have misspecified the active directory path.
Works a treat. Thousand rows limit is very annoying, but completely understandable - our AD has way over 10k entries!!!Wednesday, December 28, 2011 - 4:01:45 AM - DmytroHi Brady,Thank you for an extremely useful article. Tried to give it a go, but get this not very informative error and cannot proceed. Does it make any sense to you?Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 1An error occurred while preparing the query 'SELECT displayNameFROM 'LDAP://ADINTERNAL.com/OU=sageukie,DC=ADINTERNAL,DC=com' for execution against OLE DB provider 'ADSDSOObject' for linked server 'ADSI'.Thank you very much in advance,Happy new year,DmytroTuesday, December 27, 2011 - 4:18:14 PM - JuanitaHI Brady,What versions of sql server does this work on?Tuesday, December 27, 2011 - 10:30:09 AM - carlossfcThanks Brady.Happy New Year!!Tuesday, December 27, 2011 - 10:17:25 AM - CaseyThe LDAP query limit is set on the domain. If you can't get your domain admin to increase the limit you can use a filter in the OpenQuery SELECT (e.g. OpenQuery(ADLINK, 'SELECT sAMAccountName FROM 'LDAP://OU=Users,DC=YOUR,DC=com' where objectClass = 'User'AND sAMAccountName = 'D.'
) returns all user names that begin with the letter D) and union the results.Tuesday, December 27, 2011 - 10:10:45 AM - BradyThanks carlos. I'm glad you can find this useful. Here is something I found on MSDN regarding the 1000 row limitation:Tuesday, December 27, 2011 - 9:56:52 AM - carlossfcVery useful post Brady. How to avoid the limit of page size?, when I execute the openquery it just returns 1000 records and no more.Thanks.
