Your example crashes here with error:

Can you post an example how the desired result should look like?

Thanks, but i think i got it.

I had to change this to For $iIndex = 1 To $adOU[0][0] to For $iIndex = 2 To $adOU[0][0] and it skipped the first line and got me where i needed.

... For my test computer the description is 5th in the array, but it might not always be that way, so how can I have the message box show only the description field, instead of hard-coding 5 in it? I tried putting "description" in it, but it errors out. Any way to do that with out loops looking at what each value is?

You can either use _AD_GetObjectAttribute($sAD_Object, $sAD_Attribute) to get a single attribute which doesn't need any kind of "decryption" (like date values etc.) or you specify the required property when calling _AD_GetObjectProperties($sAD_Object, "description").

Glad you got it working!

is there a function to get all groups from AD? I am trying to get a listing of all groups starting with BU_

thanks in advance.

[water]

_AD_GetObjectsInOU("", "(&(objCategory=group)(name=BU*))", 2, "")

[gcue]

hmm im getting an error code 2

No records returned from Active Directory. $sAD_DataToRetrieve is invalid (attribute may not exist)

do i need to do something before then reference that?

#include "AD.au3"
#include <array.au3>

_ad_open()

$array = _AD_GetObjectsInOU("", "(&(objCategory=group)(name=BU*))", 2, "")

if @error Then
    MsgBox(0,"",@error)
EndIf

_ArrayDisplay($array)

_ad_close()

[water]

Sorry, my fault. You have to specify the data you want to retrieve. "" isn't enough.

#include "AD.au3"
#include <array.au3>
_ad_open()
$array = _AD_GetObjectsInOU("", "(&(objCategory=group)(name=BU*))", 2, "samaccountname")
if @error Then
    MsgBox(0,"",@error)
EndIf
_ArrayDisplay($array)
_ad_close()

getting error code 3 now

maybe wildcards arent supported? or is it a different character other than * ?

[water]

I'm not at my windows pc at the moment. So I can't test it myself.

But could you try:

#include "AD.au3"
#include <array.au3>
_ad_open()
$array = _AD_GetObjectsInOU("", "(&(objCategory=group)(samaccountname=BU*))", 2, "samaccountname")
if @error Then 
    MsgBox(0,"",@error)
Else
    _ArrayDisplay($array)
EndIf
_ad_close()

[gcue]

np - same error code 3 btw. =/

[water]

And if you just ask for all groups?

#include "AD.au3"
#include 
_ad_open()
$array = _AD_GetObjectsInOU("", "(objCategory=group)", 2, "samaccountname")
if @error Then 
    MsgBox(0,"",@error)
Else
    _ArrayDisplay($array)
EndIf
_ad_close()

[gcue]

error code 3

[water]

Holy s..t - there was a typo + invalid wildcard with the used attribute.

This should work:

$array = _AD_GetObjectsInOU("", "(&(objectCategory=group)(cn=BU_*))", 2,  "samaccountname")

[gcue]

bingo! it does... many thanks for your help!!!

and quick responses =)

Water,

I've searched the AutoIt forums looking for some help with my project and I keep seeing your name come up in refernece to Active Directory assistance. I'm wondering if you could show me how to use your AD.au3 functions to pull a list of users from a particular container? Using the _ADGetObjectsInOU function, Id like to pull a list of users showing thier "Display Name" and "Logon Name". Any assistance would be much appreciated! If I should not use the PM is way, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Please have a look at example 2 in the _AD_GetObjectsInOU.au3 example script. Your code should look like:

$sOU = "CN=...." ; The container where you would like to start searching (FQDN)
$aObjects = _AD_GetObjectsInOU($sOU, "(&(objectcategory=person)(objectclass=user))", 2, "sAMAccountName,displayname")
