Active Directory OU Query Help

[CassidyHunt 0]

I have a OU structure that looks like this:

company->location->department->user

Based on those three tiers I want to map particular drives. I downloaded the adfunctions.au3 script and can get the entire tree view. I am having an issue figuring out how to build a function that accepts the user name and spits out an array that tells me these levels.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The successor of adfunctions.au3 is AD.au3 (for download please see my signature). It has more functions, example scripts and a help file.

To get the OU you could translate the username to a Fully qualified domain name (FQDN or distinguished name) and then split it into pieces using stringsplit.

#include <AD.au3>
_AD_Open()
$sFQDN = _AD_SamAccountNameToFQDN(@UserName)
$aOU = Stringsplit($sFQDN,",")
For $iIndex = 1 to $aOU[0]
    If StringLeft($aOU[$iIndex],3) = "OU=" Then ConsoleWrite(StringMid($aOU[$iIndex],4) & @CRLF)
Next
_AD_Close()
Exit

That is exactly what I needed. Thanks. I didn't see your signature but I will search the web for the link.

Thanks again.
