A lightweight Active Directory utility library for .NET that supports forest‑wide searches across all domains, flexible LDAP filters, and DTO‑based results with access to all Active Directory attributes.

     ✅ Async
     ✅ Forest‑wide search
     ✅ DTO‑based (no SearchResult leakage)
     ✅ JSON‑friendly
     ✅ NuGet‑ready

     Search Active Directory across all domains in a forest
     ✅ SearchAttribute
     - UserName
     - FullName
     - FirstName
     - LastName
     - All
     ✅ FilterType
     - Contains
     - StartWith
     - EndsWith
     - Is
     ✅ ObjectClassFilter
     - User
     - Group
     - Computer
     - Contact
     - OrganizationalUnit
     - (and more)

     ✅Returns DTO objects instead of raw AD objects
     ✅Access all AD attributes dynamically
     ✅Easy JSON serialization
     ✅Windows‑only (Active Directory)


     🔍 Search users by username (EndsWith)
               using RPutilities.ActiveDirectory;
               using static RPutilities.ActiveDirectory.Options;

               var users = await ActiveDirectory.SearchAllDomainsAsync(
               ObjectClassFilter.User,
               "patelr",
               SearchAttribute.UserName,
               FilterType.EndsWith,
               CancellationToken.None
               );


     🔍 Search users across ALL attributes
             var users = await ActiveDirectory.SearchAllDomainsAsync(
             ObjectClassFilter.User,
             "patelr",
             SearchAttribute.All,
             FilterType.Contains,
             CancellationToken.None
             );

     ✅ Access Common Properties
           foreach (var user in users)
           {
           Console.WriteLine($"{user.DisplayName} ({user.SamAccountName})");
           }


     ✅ Access ANY Active Directory Property
           foreach (var user in users)
           {
             if (user.Properties.TryGetValue("mail", out var email))
               {
               Console.WriteLine($"Email: {email}");
               }
           }

     ✅ Handle Multi‑Valued Properties (e.g. memberOf)
         if (user.Properties.TryGetValue("memberOf", out var groups))
           {
             if (groups is object[] values)
             {
               foreach (var group in values)
               {
               Console.WriteLine(group);
               }
           }
         }


     ✅ Serialize to JSON
           using System.Text.Json;
           string json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(
           users,
           new JsonSerializerOptions { WriteIndented = true }
           );

         Console.WriteLine(json);
