The IADs interface defines the basic object features, that is, properties and methods, of any ADSI object. Examples of ADSI objects include users, computers, services, organization of user accounts and computers, file systems, and file service operations. Every ADSI object must support this interface, which serves to do the following:

• Provides object identification by name, class, or ADsPath
• Identifies the object's container that manages the object's creation and deletion
• Retrieves the object's schema definition
• Loads object's attributes to the property cache and commits changes to the persistent directory store
• Accesses and modifies the object's attribute values in the property cache

The IADs interface is designed to ensure that ADSI objects provide network administrators and directory service providers with a simple and consistent representation of various underlying directory services.
