LDAP Get Groups Beginning With

Question

I have a situation whereby Active Directory groups are prefixed with a unique code. For instance

1. 12345 Users
2. 12345 Admins
3. 67890 Users
4. 67890 Admins

I'm currently using LDAP to get all groups but I would like to restrict this to only those prefixed with the id.

Effectively get groups beginning with 12345.

How can I achieve this with LDAP?

Answer 1

Using LDAP a filter like:

&((ObjectClass=Group)(cn=12345*))

Will retrieve groups beginning with 12345. -jim
