I want to write a utility which will read domain users details from the Active Directory and dump it in a database which will be used by other applications.

How do I do this ?

dsquery is available on the Windows servers. You can use it to extract AD information or use other LDAP tools for this purpose. An example dsquery tip can be found at: http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/79431/jsi-tip-7330-what-can-i-do-with-the-dsquery-user-command.html
