    Thanks Michael, it's good to know.

    I’d like to point out it's an optional component and it might be unavailable on particular device.

    Hi

    Windows CE does support LDAP. You may use it to get some data from AD. More informations are available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/wceappservices5/html/wce50conLDAPClient.asp

    As this is an C/C++ API you'll need to write a managed wrapper.

    I don't believe Windows CE has support for AD or can be a member of the domain.

    Depending on what you’re trying to do, it might be possible to use Web Service hosted on a server within domain/AD to gain access to some AD resources.
