					<description>This information has been helpful; however, I'm still unable to get the information I want.  I'm trying to query all users who belong to a group that contains 'ctx' in the group name.  Can you offer any suggestions?</description>

					<description>Hi Luanne,

That's a good question.  Unfortunately I don't think you'll be able to return the results you want in a single LDAP query.  The problem is that the memberof attribute that you use to query users that belong to a group requires a distinguished name, and LDAP doesn't like using wildcards in distinguished names.

You could use vbscript to query groups that have 'ctx' in the display name, and then loop through each group and enumerate the members.  If you're intereseted in this approach I'm sure I could put something together for you.</description>

					<description>Thanks HEAPS! This helped out greatly. I'm away and fixing SMS now. Never done custom LDAP queries, and this will make SMS drill down to the exact containers instead of searching the entirety of AD for workstations and security groups and users.

Thanks again!</description>

					<description>It is very important to have good or at least decent credit history if you want to be approved for any kind of credit. Your credit report is the document that shows your creditworthiness.  I’ve been working hard on my credit history - paying my bills, keeping my income stable and I’m really hoping to be a proved for a good credit card deal at
