Here is a utility to help users joining a computer to an Active Directory domain. It provides similiar functionality to the netdom.exe utility in that it was designed to allow you to specify an OU (organizational unit) when you're joining the domain.

nice, a couple of suggestions tho

instead of hard coding the user name and password in, maybe something like:

$adUsername     = InputBox("User","Admin Name:")
If @error Then Exit
$adPassword     = InputBox("Password","Admin Password",'','*')
If @error Then Exit

an enhancement also would be to have an ini file for other vars that would need to be different on other networks such as $adDefaultContext, $adDomainController, $adDomain

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Very nice script, I can tell you put a lot of work into this.

A couple of suggestions:

  • Have an option for it to prompt for a computer name, rather than using the one currently assigned.
  • Have an option for it to prompt for the username and password, for security reasons.
Edit: was a little slow on the second suggestion Edited by big_daddy

Thanks for all the feedback. I did a minor update to this script that will let it prompt you for the credentials (username and password) if they are not hardcoded.

I believe in most enviroments the Active Directory structure would be fairly simple (small forest, one domain, etc) so adding in support for more complicated enviroments might be overkill and might confuse the average user. If someone needs to support multiple configurations, it should be easy enough to compile a few different versions of the script.

Wonderful work, my compliments.

I have a little problem with line 279 and I am certain it has to do with how my domain is laid out.

I receive this error at:

$treeIDArray[$treeID] = $fullOU

^ =Array variable has incorrect number of sub scripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.

I upgraded from beta version 3.1.1.104 to 3.1.1.122 and generated the exact same error at line 279.

$treeIDArray[$treeID] = $fullOU

^ =Array variable has incorrect number of sub scripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.

Perhaps you might have another idea.

Do you see the TreeView start to populate with your OU's?

Try changing the "2" in line 240 to a "4" and see if that helps your problem.

From:

Dim $treeIDArray[uBound($reversedAllOUsArray)*2]

To:

Dim $treeIDArray[uBound($reversedAllOUsArray)*4]

This is a very cool script and I am trying to use it at my work.

However, I keep getting a $joinDomainResult = 1355 which I looked up and found this: 1355 Error Which means failure to find or connect to a domain controller. But the weird thing is that is finds/queries the Domain controller fine. Can anyone help ? Thanks

i was reading through my post and thought maybe i should try and make this more clear. i would like to just list one organizational unit within our ou. useing an example from the above image, once i login in i would like to only see "Academic Divisions" and then any group listed below it. i dont want to be able to see "Academic Affairs" or "Advancement" or "Bussiness Office". thank you...

Does anyone know how to put the full domain controller string?

For example:

Right now I have the following:

$adDefaultContext = "DC=ca,DC=test,DC=com"

$adDomainController = "ca.test.com"

$adDomain = "CA"

If it was accessed within the network, then CA would work fine but if I were to add another computer to the domain through another computer I would need to put ca.test.com but unfornuately I couldn't get it to work.

Does anyone know how I can modify it to do that?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi!!!

Any updates related to big_daddy's suggestion to Have an option for it to prompt for a computer name, rather than using the one currently assigned?

I need this also. Hope you can help.

Thanks in adv.
