kor 5 Posted March 23, 2011 i can't believe I am having this much trouble with something so stupid. The AD functions help documentation is sorely lacking in how to properly structure filters when running the functions. I assume I need to use the _AD_GetObjectsInOU but I don't know how to filter it to give me an array of ALL groups inside active directory. I just want a simple array of every group inside the domain.

water 2,387 Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) I will answer this question as soon as am at my windows pc on saturday. You could try _AD_GetObjectsInOU with "(objectcategory=group)" as LDAP string.For details please check this link.

BrewManNH 1,305 Posted March 24, 2011 $look = _ArraySearch($var, $list[$n]) should be $look = _ArraySearch($var, $list[$i])?

kor 5 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) $list can't have $i because I'm already using $i for the $var array Something maybe like this? But my code isn't working #include <ad.au3> #include <array.au3> _AD_Open() Global $list[3] $list[0] = "Account Operators" $list[1] = "Administrators" $list[2] = "Backup Operators" $var = _AD_GetObjectsInOU("", "(objectcategory=group)", 2) _ArrayDisplay($var) For $i = 1 To UBound($var) - 1 For $n = 0 to UBound($list) - 1 $look = "" $look = _ArraySearch($var, $list[$n]) _ArrayDelete($var, $look) Next Next _ArrayDisplay($var) _AD_Close() Edited March 24, 2011 by kor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrewManNH 1,305 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) $list can't have $i because I'm already using $i for the $var array That makes no sense at all. You're using a loop already to loop through something, and it's not the $var array. What you might want to be doing is this. For $I = Ubound($var) - 1 to 0 Step - 1 For $n = 0 to UBound($n) - 1 If StringInStr($var[$I], $list[$n]) then _ArrayDelete($var, $I) EndIf Next Next Edit: Fixed the code so that it might actually work better Edited March 24, 2011 by BrewManNH If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

kor 5 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) It works with the following fix. Change UBound($n) to UBound($list) Final code for anyone else needing something like this. #include <ad.au3> #include <array.au3> _AD_Open() Global $list[3] $list[0] = "Account Operators" $list[1] = "Administrators" $list[2] = "Backup Operators" $var = _AD_GetObjectsInOU("", "(objectcategory=group)", 2) _ArrayDisplay($var) For $i = Ubound($var) - 1 to 0 Step - 1 For $n = 0 to UBound($list) - 1 If StringInStr($var[$i], $list[$n]) then _ArrayDelete($var, $i) EndIf Next Next _ArrayDisplay($var) _AD_Close() Thanks!

BrewManNH 1,305 Posted March 24, 2011 Yeah, sorry about that typo, missed that when I typed it in. Typing faster than I'm thinking, but at least now we got it working for you.
