_AD_ModifyAttribute Now Working

[antmar904]

This is not appending to the "Description" attribute for a users account.

#include <AD.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#RequireAdmin

Local $AD = _AD_Open("", "", "", "server.com")
If @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "ERROR: Connecting to AD", "ERROR: " & @error & "  Extended: " & @extended)
    Exit
EndIf

Local  $Add = _AD_ModifyAttribute("usera", "Description", "Auto disabled", 3)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(0, "ERROR - Setting Attribute", @error & "  " & @extended)
    Exit
EndIf

_AD_Close()

If I remove the "3" append, it does update the attribute which I do not want to do.

Unfortunately the function is a bit misleading. It was created by the original author of the UDF to update multivalue attributes.
To work with a single value attribute like description you need to extract the current value of the attribute, add the text to the discription and then rewrite the attribute.

Bummer but at least there is a way!

Thanks @water

I'm thinking about rewriting the function - or at least update the documentation!
