I have absolutely no idea what goes on. Can we do it step by step?

First _AD_Open. On the workstation do you use the same user as on the connected PC?

For _AD_Open.  Variable:  $techusername, $techpassword are the same for all scenarios and input fields(User ID and password in the GUI) in _AD_Open.au3  All other fields also match what is being used (DNSDomain, HostServer, Confiuration) in the GUI and the AD_Open line of code.

If I use the stock script from your UDF:

- Domain machine:  Works fine.  I'm able to get the "Logon Was Successful" with the same username/password passed by $techusername, $techpassword

- Workgroup: Gives -2147352567 upon launch (expected since it doesn't know what the AD server name should be on the workgroup machine)

If I modify the line in _AD_Open.au3 from

_AD_Open()

to 

_AD_Open($techusername, $techpassword, "DC=us,DC=XXXX,DC=com", "XXAD_serverXX.us.XXXX.com", "CN=Configuration,DC=XXXX,DC=com") ;to pass the technician username / password who has rights to AD and the AD variables

- Domain Machine: works fine.  I'm able to get the "Logon Was Successful" with the same username/password passed by $techusername, $techpassword

- Workgroup: Works fine, no error.  I'm able to get the "Logon Was Successful" with the same username/password passed by $techusername, $techpassword

(Result is the same with both "CN=Configuration,DC=XXXX,DC=com" and "CN=Configuration,DC=us,DC=XXXX,DC=com")

Started playing around with scripts again... this was my first attempt, not sure if it's a config on my side or a bug.

Here's the script...

#include <AD.au3>

$sSam = @ComputerName & "$"
$sFQDN = _AD_SamAccountNameToFQDN($sSam)

#Region --- CodeWizard generated code Start ---
;MsgBox features: Title=Yes, Text=Yes, Buttons=OK, Icon=Info, Miscellaneous=Top-most attribute
MsgBox(262208,"Computer OU",$sFQDN)
#EndRegion --- CodeWizard generated code End ---

The script hangs in SciTE.  Using the latest version available.

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Before you can call any of the _AD_* functions you need to call _AD_Open to connect to AD.

See any of the example scripts provided with the UDF.

Ah, figured it was something simple.   I found the sample code in another post, but you only the two strings were listed.

Thanks!

I have a problem with _AD_MoveObject

I have the same error with the helpfile provided with the udf as in my script:

I get an error about the object doesn't exist, but "_AD_SamAccountNameToFQDN(@UserName)" seems to be the correct value. I double checked that value

while @username gives me error: Return code '-2147352567' from Active Directory

I am not getting an error about the ou, so this part seems to be oke.

what am I doing wrong?

edit: I am using the latest UDF with autoit 3.3.10.2

Can you add

_AD_ErrorNotify(2)

at the top of your script so we get detailed error information?

-2147352567 (decimal) = 0x80020009 (hex) just means: General Error

actually I use the help file now for testing purposes, this one gives the same error as my script.

I think it is a 2003 AD error with trailing slashes "/" in the FQGN

Last thing I would try is to use the hex value. Means

$sobject = CN=Jochem xxxxxx \5Cxxxx,OU=medewerkers_CAD_Grafisch,OU=straat1,DC=xxxx,DC=nl

I this doesn't help then you need to install the hotfix.

For details about escaping characters see this site.

Thanks for the feedback.

As I'm always eager to improve the UDF I'm "glad" to hear that it is a MS bug ;)
