_AD_Open function problem

jazzyjeff · June 9, 2010

Hello,

I am using the _AD_Open() function to move a PC to a selected OU. After getting help from Water this works great.

All my testing was using my PC, which is joined to the domain and has access to create accounts in AD. The problem is the script needs to be used on PCs that are not joined to the domain.

My script creates/joins the PC to the domain (I can see it in AD). The problem is it thinks the PC is not joined to the domain.

I think my problem lies with the parameter $sAD_ConfigurationParam.

I am going to post the script, so it'll provide a better understanding of what I am trying to achieve. Basically after an image I log into the PC and run this script. The script will modify the computer description, join it to the domain, add it to the specific OU, create a startup shortcut that will launch another script at login, add autologin credentials(the next script deletes these) and then run a BIOS update (this reboots the PC).

Thanks all for your help. Sorry for all these posts!

To get the correct values for the _AD_Open() parameters run the following script:

#include <AD.au3>
_AD_Open()
ConsoleWrite($sAD_DNSDomain & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($sAD_HostServer & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($sAD_Configuration & @CRLF)
_AD_Close()

The $sAD_ConfigurationParameter has to point to the configuration naming context. In my case this is "CN=Configuration,DC=microsoft,DC=com". No servername required.

BTW: Good coding practice is to check the returncode of a function to handly any errors. _AD_Open() is not very good at returning errors at the moment but will improve as soon as I get a Windows 7 machine.

Water,

Thanks again for your quick response. I now have the correct configuration LDAP path in my script.

I am now exhibiting a problem where an error message is returned, but it makes no sense to me at all.

I have checked everything, and it looks good to me.

I can confirm that the script works fine when a user is logged into the PC with a domain account, but a PC that is logged in with a workgroup account receives an AD error.

It makes me think the problem lies with whats happening in the _AD_Open part of the script. I am thinking that it's not authenticating properly, but maybe you have a better idea.

The script is moving a computer account from one OU to another.

Here is the part of the script that isn't functioning correctly:

Func _SelectOU()

    ;Choose domain OU
    _AD_Open("administrator", "password", "DC=domain,DC=net", "server.domain.net", "CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=net")

    Global $adOU = _AD_GetAllOUs()
    For $iCount = 20 To $adOU[0][0]
        If $iCount = 20 Then
            $sOU = $adOU[$iCount][0]
        Else
            $sOU = $sOU & "|" & $adOU[$iCount][0]
        EndIf

    Next

    WEnd

    _AD_Close()
EndFunc   ;==>_SelectOU

I have also attached a screen shot of the error that I receive when it tries to move the computer to another OU.

I have added extra lines of code to use your other functions to confirm the computer account exists and the computer account is joined to the domain.

Any help you can provide with this error message will be very much appreciated.

I hate this error code! It means "DISP_E_EXCEPTION - Unanticipated error occurred".

Some questions come to my mind:

Why do you create the computer account in the OU "CN=Computers,DC=tcaps,DC=net" and move it in a second step? You could create the computer in the OU selected by the user directly
With _AD_CreateComputer you define a user or group that is allowed to join the computer to the domain. In your case this is "sehi".
You have to specify this userid and the password for "sehi" in the _AD_JoinDomain() call. Or you have to use it in _AD_Open()
After _AD_JoinDomain a reboot of the computer is necessary
After _AD_JoinDomain please check the returncode

Water, thanks again for your help. You have once again resolved my issue.

I was actually going about the Joining domain in a different way. I tried to do it using a series of send keys. I recorded my steps with the AURecorder. I added the functions from the AD.au3 UDF, though I didn't really feel comfortable with using. After your message, I was convinced that this was the best way, and low and behold the problem has been resolved.

Thank you.
