Hello

Is it possible to retrieve user information (Submitter) from Active Directory?

So information like manager of submitter can be used to assign next step to him for approval.

Hi Saifudeen,

The best way to do this is to set up a linked server to AD within your database. There is a lot of documentation on the web on how to do this and it's pretty simple to setup. Google

Once you have the linked server set up you can run queries for any AD information. For the manager of a submitter set up a simple stored procedure where the user info is passed in and returns the managers information.
