How do I update object properties that don’t take strings?

Use the optional DataType property in your update message with the hex setting to specify your data as hexadecimal. For example:

ChangeToValue="F0-F1-F2-F3" DataType="hex"

Your hex data can contain no spaces (“F0F1F2F3“), or be separated with spaces or hyphens (“F0 F1 F2 F3” or “F0-F1-F2-F3“).

If you have a lot of data to upload – such as a .jpg photo – you can load it from a file using DataType="filename" with the path to the file in the ChangeToValue. Refer to the ActiveADAPTER Send Adapter User Guide for more information.

And don’t forget that the ActiveADAPTER evaluation installation package includes sample messages that show you how to set logon hours and add photos for user objects using hex data.

Can ActiveADAPTER help me retrieve information from Active Directory?

Yes. The Active Directory Receive Adapter can be used to create a Receive Location that queries Active Directory at regular intervals and submit the results to your BizTalk application. A message can be submitted to BizTalk at every polling interval, or only when a change occurs in the query results (this is the "On Change Only" option on the Active Directory Receive Adapter property configuration).

In addition, the Active Directory Send Adapter can be used with a Solicit-Response Send Port to perform an on-demand query. You just send your query parameters to the send port in a message that conforms to the supplied schema, and receive your results back in a new message.
