How to see what ou the computer is a member of?

[eatfishdk]

Hi..

I don't know much about working with domains and autoit.. I've seen the ADfunctions.au3 file but have no idea if it does this..

I just need a way have the script to return what OU the machine is a member of.. (the entire structure, ex. domain\site1\room3 or something like that)..

Hi eatfishdk,

does this bring the information you need? Replace xxxxx with the name of your computer.

#include <adfunctions.au3>
#include <array.au3>

$ou = "DC=domain,DC=top-level-domain"               ; Root of your AD ex. DC=microsoft,DC=com
Dim $Out

_ADGetObjectsInOU($Out, $ou, "(&(objectClass=computer)(cn=xxxxx))", 2, "distinguishedName")
_ArrayDisplay($Out)

AD Explorer gives you a good overview what fields you can query from AD: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb963907.aspx

This site is a good start for how to build LDAP queries: http://www.petri.co.il/ldap_search_samples...nd_exchange.htm

Yes! Thanks! That and along with some array functions turns this in to exactly the output I need (machinename\ou\ou\domain) in text.

Oh, and thanks for the links, these are gonna help me alot understanding this Active Directory thingy... :-D
