Active Directory UDF

[water]

By "return codes" you mean the value returned by a function (which one?) or the meaning of the codes returned by @error and @extended?

BTW: Could you please post questions on the " This thread has 47 pages, whereas the support thread was restarted some weeks ago and hence doesn't put such a heavy load on Jon's server.

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

I moved your question to the

[Palmerj]

I have converted and extended the adfunctions.au3 written by Jonathan Clelland to a full AutoIt UDF including help file, examples, ScITE integration etc.

The example scripts should run fine without changes.

2012-10-12: Version: 1.3.0.0

As always: Please test before using in production!

KNOWN BUGS: (Last changed: 2012-12-19)

• If you run AutoIt < 3.3.9.2 and your script defines a COM error handler before _AD_Open is called then _AD_Open will fail with @error = 3.

  Thanks to user bartekd for pointing me to this error. A workaround is available.

• If you try to delete an object with characters that need to be escaped in the CN then function _AD_DeleteObject will crash.

  Thanks to user bartekd for pointing me to this error. A workaround is available.

General:

• This version should (again) run with all production and beta versions of AutoIt. It combines 1.2.0 and 1.2.2.0.

  The COM error handler is activated automatically when the AutoIt version is < 3.3.9.2

I am having trouble unzipping, getting "invalid zip". I'm using Winzip 16.5.

We had similar problems a few times. Whne people used another browser they could successfully download and extract the file.

Make sure the downloaded file has the size as shown on page 1 (means: make sure the downloaded file is complete).

Does the error -2147352567 have a particular meaning? I get this when I use the function _AD_SetPassword?

Here is what the console returns.

NumberHex = 80020009: An error has occurred. That's the error number AD throws most of the time (= doesn't mean anything)

The WinDescription = The server is unwilling to process the request can have multiple reasons.

One of them is: The password you try to set doesn't meet the password policy (length, reuse of passwords etc.)

[jazzyjeff]

I was reading a password variable wrong and it thought my password was 4! Thanks for the help.

Glad the problem could be solved

I have a complicated issue.

The compnay I work for has a thrid party build a program for us. They failed to look at all the variables and now I'm stuck in the middle of fix it.

We are a branch of a larger company so we do not have control over which groups users are placed in. However, if we connect to the network and then go to Control Panel >> User Accounts >> "Give other users access to this computer", we can add a user from the domain to the laptop and give the account Admin Rights for that computer alone.

The problem I run into is when I use WinNT to try and determine what group the user is in, I have to pass the domain which WinNT goes to and sees the user is just a basic user. It does not see that the user is in the administrators group on that machine. Passing the Local Domain (computer name) results in an error.

How can I find if a domain account is in a local group of the computer? If possible, please email me at paul.moura@sgs.com

[water]

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with all the local stuff.

Did you use Google to find a Visual Basic script that does what you need? VBS is easy to translate to AutoIt!

Something like this.

Hi There,

I trying to add department attribute using" _AD_ModifyAttribute" but is returning error -2147352567. No issue with "_AD_GetObjectAttribute

" to query the username. Please advise. Thanks.

 

[water]

Can you please add "_AD_ErrorNotify(2)" so we get extended error information.

Plus post the complete statement.

Looks like you only have read access for this object.

More than 4000 downloads of the AD UDF!

I would never have expected that the UDF would be useful for so many users!

Thanks to all who helped to make the UDF getting better all the time by pointing me to bugs and requesting enhancements!

[water]

What do you think?

Function _IsMemberOf only returns 1 if the object (user, group, computer) is an immediate member of the group.

Do you want to see a new function (or a flag for this function) to get an recursive search (means: Search the specified group plus all groups in this group plus ...)?

[supersonic]

Hello water,

very good to see that your AD UDF is still developing... - can't wait to see it (and your other UDFs) being part of AutoIt package!

I would like to see _IsMemberOf extended with a new flag to get a recursive search (on success returns an array, on failure returns 0).

Greets,

-supersonic.
