extented procedures for Microsoft SQL Server

are dynamic link libraries, which can be used for executing you own stuff outside the SQL Server.

Currently we develop procedures which can be used for:

send eMail by using native SMTP

execute xp_smtp 'smtp.localdomain', 'originator@localdomain', 'recipient@localdomain', 'Subject', 'Body'

search for a given user in a NT Domain to get back the fullname and description

execute xp_searchuser 'DOMAIN\Username'

list member of a given group

execute xp_EnumGroupMembers 'DOMAIN\groupname'

execute xp_EnumLocalGroupMembers 'DOMAIN\localgroupname'
