determining if a user is in a particular group

[bj daniels]

is there a quick way to determine if a given username is in a particular
groups (w2k3 active directory).

basically I want to say something like this:

while dr.read 'dr is a datareader with a bunch of user records
if IsInGroup(dr("username"), "TeachersGroup") then
blah blah blah
end if
end while


I cannot figure out an easy way to create the IsInGroup function. I know
how to check if the current user is in a group (using the IsInRole
function) - but that doesn't help me in the above example.

thanks

AFAIK, there is no straight forward method to do it. You have to loop
through the memberOf property of the user's directory entry object.

You might also want to look at this:

That's what I was afraid of.
