ADSI and/or VBS use for creating objects in Autoit

[Steven Meier 0]

Folks,

I have posted a few queries here over the week , I have managed to nut everything bar my last task.

Using ADSI I believe to create the mailbox.

I will post my working code for app here... I have created the LDAP string but unsure where to go from here.

The asterisks are for client confidentiality, but feel free to use if wish.

I am not much of a scripter so if my code is untidy, I am happy to hear about it, but it does work, so I am happy.

CODE

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Func _RunDOS($sCommand)

Return RunWait(@ComSpec & " /C " & $sCommand, "", @SW_HIDE)

The code below is an example of ADSI mailbox creation but I am lost as to how to convert to autoit.

I am happy with what I have so far, as it creates the complete script line (if you run app you will see the msg box produce the output line )

Any help with this last task would help greatly as I feel once I see how it works I will be fine.

CODE

Sub ADSICreateMailBoxEnabledUser _

(MDBName,StorageGroup,Server,AdminGroup,Organization,DomainName,emailname,FirstName,LastName)

'split the domain name to get the directory name for it

DomainDN = "dc=" & Replace(DomainName,".",",dc=")

recip = "CN=" & emailname

' get the container

Set objContainer = GetObject("LDAP://CN=users," & DomainDN)

' create a recipient

Set objUser = objContainer.Create("User", recip)

objUser.Put "samAccountName", emailname

objUser.Put "sn", LastName

objUser.Put "givenName", FirstName

objUser.Put "userPrincipalName", emailname

objUser.SetInfo

objUser.SetPassword "123456"

objUser.AccountDisabled = False

Set objMailbox = objUser

objMailbox.CreateMailbox "LDAP://CN=" & MDBName & _

",CN=" & StorageGroup & _

",CN=InformationStore" & _

",CN=" & Server & _

",CN=Servers" & _

",CN=" & AdminGroup & _

",CN=Administrative Groups" & _

",CN=" & Organization & _

",CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services" & _

",CN=Configuration," & DomainDN

objUser.SetInfo

End Sub

@Steven Meier

this would give you a good start

expandcollapse popup

Func ADSICreateMailBoxEnabledUser _($MDBName,$StorageGroup,$Server,$AdminGroup,$Organization,$DomainName,$emailname,$FirstName,$LastName)

;split the domain name to get the directory name for it
$DomainDN = "dc=" & StringReplace($DomainName,".",",dc=")

$recip = "CN=" & $emailname

; get the container
 $objContainer = ObjGet("LDAP://CN=users," & $DomainDN)

; create a recipient
 $objUser = $objContainer.Create("User", $recip)
$objUser.Put ("samAccountName", $emailname)
$objUser.Put ("sn", $LastName)
$objUser.Put ("givenName", $FirstName)
$objUser.Put ("userPrincipalName", $emailname)

$objUser.SetInfo()
$objUser.SetPassword ("123456" )
$objUser.AccountDisabled = 0

 $objMailbox = $objUser

$objMailbox.CreateMailbox ("LDAP://CN=" & $MDBName & _)
",CN=" & $StorageGroup & _
",CN=InformationStore" & _
",CN=" & $Server & _
",CN=Servers" & _
",CN=" & $AdminGroup & _
",CN=Administrative Groups" & _
",CN=" & $Organization & _
",CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services" & _
",CN=Configuration," & $DomainDN

$objUser.SetInfo()

EndFunc

Thanks Ptrex for the reply.

For my Understanding could you explain a bit what its doing it and how?

I understand the basics from Autoit, But have had a great deal of difficulty understanding the email box creation stuff.

Cheers

I added the code to my script .

Didi not add any code to call the func..but I get errors

Error Unknown Function Name

$objContainer = ObjGet

$objContainer = ^Error

[ptrex 89]

@

All parameters of the function need to have values specified, otherwise it will give errors !!

ADSICreateMailBoxEnabledUser($MDBName,$StorageGroup,$Server,$AdminGroup,$Organization,$DomainName,$emailname,$FirstName,$LastName)

When calling the function you need to set values for all these varialbles.

I didn't write the script I only translated it for you from VBS to AU3.

No,

I added the code for the func to my script, but no code to call the func, and that error I mentioned in the above post happened when I went to execute the code, so I am actually not at this stage calling the function.

Cheers
