The IADsDomain interface enables a COM object in Active Directory to manage a common set of rules concerning passwords that apply to the accounts on a domain of computers or servers.
Properties accessed by IADsDomain are defined on the ADSI Domain Object.
Implement IADsDomain only when you are providing an Active Directory implementation for a directory service that supports domains.
Under the Windows NT implementation, this interface is implemented on the object WinNTDomain.
Call the methods and properties of this interface when you are managing the password rules of domain members.
