_AD_AddUserToGroup UDF error

[Ivo]

Hi all

I am using the _AD_AddUserToGroup from ad.au3 to add users to an AD Group.

It work fine as long as I dont have users with an / in the FQDN.

If there is a "/" in the FQDN I got the error number -2147352567 from @error

#include <AD.au3>

_AD_Open()

;This doesn't work
_AD_AddUserToGroup("CN=SG-ALL-Employees,OU=Security Groups,OU=GROUPS,DC=OFFICE,DC=ORG","CN=Jan Jansen (ATF/G),OU=NL,OU=Users,DC=OFFICE,DC=org")

;This works fine
_AD_AddUserToGroup("CN=SG-ALL-Employees,OU=Security Groups,OU=GROUPS,DC=OFFICE,DC=ORG","CN=Klaas Vaak (BDF-R),OU=NL,OU=Users,DC=OFFICE,DC=org")


_AD_Close()

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Ivo

I cannot test this, so I don't know if it will work. It's worth a try.

$forwardslash = chr (47)
_AD_AddUserToGroup("CN=SG-ALL-Employees,OU=Security Groups,OU=GROUPS,DC=OFFICE,DC=ORG","CN=Jan Jansen (ATF" & $forwardslash & "G),OU=NL,OU=Users,DC=OFFICE,DC=org")

You have to escape the slash. Use "\/" instead of "/".

Or use the internal function _AD_FixSpecialChars.

$sResult = _AD_FixSpecialChars($sString, <0 = escape, 1 = unescape>, "<list of characters to escaep/unescape>")

_AD_AddUserToGroup("CN=SG-ALL-Employees,OU=Security Groups,OU=GROUPS,DC=OFFICE,DC=ORG","CN=Jan Jansen (ATF\/G),OU=NL,OU=Users,DC=OFFICE,DC=org")

or

$sResult = _AD_FixSpecialChars("CN=Jan Jansen (ATF/G),OU=NL,OU=Users,DC=OFFICE,DC=org")

_AD_AddUserToGroup("CN=SG-ALL-Employees,OU=Security Groups,OU=GROUPS,DC=OFFICE,DC=ORG",$sResult)

Doesn't work.

It says that the user doesn't exis in the AD.

But it has something to do with the _AD_FixSpecialChars Func.

I got it to work with the following lines:

$SamID = _AD_FQDNToSamAccountName("CN=Jan Jansen (ATF/G),OU=NL,OU=Users,DC=OFFICE,DC=org")

_AD_AddUserToGroup("CN=SG-ALL-Employees,OU=Security Groups,OU=GROUPS,DC=OFFICE,DC=ORG",$SamID)

and those lines use the _AD_FixSpecialChars Function internally.

Thanks for you help.

I see. The problem was with the call to _AD_FixSpecialChars and using default parameters.

$sResult = _AD_FixSpecialChars("CN=Jan Jansen (ATF/G),OU=NL,OU=Users,DC=OFFICE,DC=org")

gets a result of

CN=Jan Jansen (ATF\/G)\,OU=NL\,OU=Users\,DC=OFFICE\,DC=org

which is incorrect because the commas are escaped as well.

The line

$sResult = _AD_FixSpecialChars("CN=Jan Jansen (ATF/G),OU=NL,OU=Users,DC=OFFICE,DC=org", 0, "/")

returns the correct result of

CN=Jan Jansen (ATF\/G),OU=NL,OU=Users,DC=OFFICE,DC=org

Do you think I should change _AD_FixSpecialChars into a "normal" function and insert extended documentation and examples?

[Ivo]

The function has helped me so I think it is a good idea to add it to the "normal" functions.

My script is ready now and implemented in our organisation.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your reply. Will be a part of the next version.
