_AD_Open example failing

[ohaya]

Hi,

I was trying the code from the 10/25/2012 post in this thread:

but it is not working.

I am running the compiled script on an AD machine, and I get this.  Can anyone tell me why this would be failing?

Thanks,

Jim

 

EDIT 1:  BTW, I am using the latest AutoIT, 3.3.14.5 and the latest AD.au3.

How do you provide the username?
The wiki describes the acceptable formats: https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Active_Directory_UDF_-_General

Windows Login Name   e.g. "DJ"
NetBIOS Login Name   e.g. "microsoft\DJ"
User Principal Name  e.g. "DJ@microsoft.com"

Hi,

I have tried all 3 formats, but still get the same error

BTW, that script has this:

        ; Output Username to a log file with date and time
        _FileWriteLog(@ScriptDir & "Username.log", $sUserName)

 

where is that @ScriptDir pointing to?  I cannot find a "Username.log" file :(...

@ohaya The help file is your friend. Do a search and you will find good explanations on @ScriptDir and all of the other native macros

Hi,

 

I searched for ScriptDir and @Scriptdir and nothing in the Help.

 

[ohaya]

Ok, found something searching for "macros":

"Directory containing the running script. Only includes a trailing backslash when the script is located in the root of a drive." But I don't see a Username.log in the same dir as the running script.  So where is the output from the _FileLogWrite() going?

[ohaya]

Does anyone definitely know if the script I cited above works?

There is a typo in the code line you posted:

_FileWriteLog(@ScriptDir & "Username.log", $sUserName)

Should be:

_FileWriteLog(@ScriptDir & "\Username.log", $sUserName)

Then you will find a Username.log in the directory where you stored your AutoIt script.
