  • that is starting point, you have to amend it accodingly...instead of getting the current user you can run the queery on the based of the text box selection....i think it cause too much traffic from Sharepoint to AD and ad to Sharepoint....performance issue...I would prefer an Application page.

  • I guess the only option to solve this is by using LDAP as an impersonated user who has privilege to make changes to AD...
