NT API components

[RDP1974 30]

do you know commercial components with NT API capabilities?

- list the groups and the users of active directory or smb

- install remove agents centrally through server admin rights (installing silently software through the lan desktops, without user interaction)

...

20 years ago Colin Wilson offered a wide range of low level Windows NT components, all free, his web site http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/ disappeared years ago, but you'll still find his components on Torry and such places. Certainly Net Users, Groups, Servers, etc, but this might predate active directory.

'Colin Wilson's Components' I'm afraid, he had several different packages of low level components, all open source.

I found a copy in one of my old projects. Attached.

 

But... Instead of using 25 year old, undocumented, and probably superseded APIs it might be a better idea to use something like WMI. There are lots of libraries that makes use of WMI easy from Delphi. This one for example: https://bitbucket.org/anders_melander/windows-management-wrappers/src/master/Source/amWindowsManagementInstrumentation.pas

Look at MiTeC System Information Component Suite (https://www.mitec.cz/msics.html).  Includes both AD and WMI components at a lot else besides.
