Active Directory UDF - Help & Support (III)

Sorry, but you need to provide more information:

• How do you call UnJoin? Please post the script.
• What's the exact error message?
• How do you determine that the computer is not joined to the domain?

[OrangeCoder]

sorry water- will do

 

I determine the computer is not joined to the domain by pressing Windows Key + X + Y to see if it's part of the domain or still on the local workgroup

 

I also take the name of the computer and look for it in the default OU of AD and don't see it there

 

However I will take some screen shots and post the script for you in a few

[water]

How many Domain Controllers do you have in your domain? Maybe it is an synchronization issue?

[OrangeCoder]

I am not certain - but I am fairly certain that not the case cause I refresh each time and don't see my test system

[water]

Can you please run the following code to check:

_AD_Open()
MsgBox(0, "", _AD_ObjectExists("Your Computername" & "$"))
_AD_Close()

Hey water- just want to confirm something - you want me to JUST run that code in place of my script correct ?

[OrangeCoder]

I ran that script with a computer already on the domain and get a 0 in the message box

[water]

Correct. That checks if the computer exists in ANY of the OUs.

[OrangeCoder]

Just to clarify  - I ran the script on a different computer than I have been using. You want me to run it on the same test computer that NOT on the domain ?

[water]

To make it as easy as possible. Please run this script on ANY computer already on the domain.

#include <AD.au3>
_AD_Open()
MsgBox(0, "", _AD_ObjectExists(@Computername & "$"))
_AD_Close()

 

[OrangeCoder]

ah I did run it on a system already on the domain  and got a 0 in the  message box

[water]

But if you run the script from post #470 on a computer already in the domain then you should get 1.
That's what I get here.
If you get 0 then something is awfully wrong

[OrangeCoder]

hhhmm - tell me obi wan kenobi - how can I fix this ?

[OrangeCoder]

OK OK I figured it out - I had renamed my PC and NOT rebooted it in some time. 

 

I changed it back to it's original name and rebooted and ran the script and got a 1 !!

 

Clap  clap

[water]

Note that function _AD_JoinDomain tells you if a reboot is required:

Quote

; Return values .: Success - 1, sets @extended to the return value of the JoinDomainOrWorkgroup method:
;                  |0 - indicates successful completion. No reboot required.
;                  |1 - indicates successful completion with reboot required.

 

[OrangeCoder]

I did note that - however you lost me there. I get but I don't understand what you are telling / asking me to do 

My initial script still tells me that the system not on the domain is part of the domain when I run the script on it. Even though I search AD and the system isn't on the domain

[water]

We should try to eliminate the problem step by step.
Could you please run the _AD_JoinDomain.au3 example script so that we can be sure that the simplest way to join a computer to a domain does work.

[OrangeCoder]

you got it!

[OrangeCoder]

OK I am scratching me head

 

Using a computer that's already on the domain I ran this script

 

#include <AD.au3>
_AD_Open()
If @error Then Exit MsgBox(16, "Active Directory Example Skript", "Function _AD_Open encountered a problem. @error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended)
ConsoleWrite("$sHostServerParam: " & $sAD_HostServer)
ConsoleWrite("$sConfigurationParam: " & $sAD_Configuration)
ConsoleWrite("$sDNSDomainParam: " & $sAD_DNSDomain)
_AD_Close()

 

Then taking the information on the console for HostServer,Config.,DNSDomain I ran JUST the following on a computer not on the domain

 

AOPEN

error message box

AClose

 

However I get a 0 instead of a 1

What possible variables could exist that I should consider that don't allow me to successfully connect to AD from a system not on the domain ?

[water]

Please check post #454 and you will see what is wrong with your last post
