Automating Active Directory Tasks

[abhayc]

Hi

I want to start writing a script to automate some tasks in Microsoft Active directory. Basically, I want to be able to connect to an already open AD window, get the user list, double click on each user name, click on reset password and set new password.

Can some one help me with a basic script that could become a starting point for the same ?

I tried using AutoInfo on AD window, but not able to get class names etc. for the list, buttons etc.

Chimaera already pointed you into the right direction. The AD UDF doesn't automate the admin console but uses COM to directly interact with AD.

Use functions _AD_GetObjectsInOU to get a list of users and function _AD_ModifyAttribute to set a property of the user.

The examples cripts for each funtion tell you how to do.
