Remarks

This property gives user a way to make a subset of publication properties available to Active Directory so that other users may find this publication using Microsoft Windows® Active Directory Services on the Windows® 2000 operating system. Using Active Directory, you can search publication objects to view or retrieve properties of a Publication object. When a publication property is changed, it is reflected in Active Directory if InActiveDirectory property is set to TRUE, and if the publication property is included in the subset of properties available to Active Directory. However, users are not advised to change publication properties directly using Active Directory. Instead, set InActiveDirectory to TRUE to make a subset of this publication's properties available to Active Directory.

Note  If an application calls InActiveDirectory on an instance of Microsoft SQL Server™ version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000" are returned.
