Active Directory UDF - Help & Support

[sublimnl]

IIRC, that error usually indicates a rights issue.

Please set

$iAD_Debug = 2

at the top of your script (after the #include <ad.au3> statement) and you will get the full error information.

Hi Water,

Greeting! How are you ? Hope you are doing good! today i got an opportunity to use the function _AD_IsAccountExpired(@UserName). when i use this function i always get the return value as 1 which says the user account expired. i tested this with my own user id which has Expire date as never in AD. could you please help me on this ?

Hi Syed,

I'm fine, thanks. I hope you are well too.

What version of the UDF do you use?

[Syed23]

I m fine. Thanks for asking!. i think i was using very old version 1.1.0 and downloaded the latest version and ran the below example:

#include<AD.au3>
_AD_Open()
$test = _AD_IsAccountExpired(@username)
_AD_Close()
MsgBox(0,"",$test)

ended with below error message

C:Program Files (x86)AutoIt3IncludeAD.au3 (3842) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
Local $sAD_AccountExpires = $oAD_Object.AccountExpirationDate
Local $sAD_AccountExpires = $oAD_Object.AccountExpirationDate^ ERROR

Could you please insert

$iAD_Debug = 2

at the top of your script (after the #include statement) and post the output you get?

i added the $iAD_Debug = 2 on my script but still the result was same.

C:Program Files (x86)AutoIt3IncludeAD.au3 (3842) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
Local $sAD_AccountExpires = $oAD_Object.AccountExpirationDate

I will check and - hopefully - post a solution quite soon.

Could you please run this test script?

#include<AD.au3>
_AD_Open()
MsgBox(0,"", "_AD_Open: " & @error)
$test = _AD_IsAccountExpired(@username)
_AD_Close()
MsgBox(0,"",$test)

Could you please run this test script?

#include<AD.au3>
_AD_Open()
MsgBox(0,"", "_AD_Open: " & @error)
$test = _AD_IsAccountExpired(@username)
_AD_Close()
MsgBox(0,"",$test)

I tested the above test script and got return value as 0.

[water]

So _AD_Open works fine and then the script still crashes?

you are perfect!

[water]

Did you download version 1.2.0 or 1.2.1.0?

[Syed23]

i am using 1.2.1.0

[water]

Could you please try version 1.2.0? 1.2.1.0 is experimental.

[Syed23]

i used your 1.2.0 version and the result is same the function _AD_IsAccountExpired(@username) returns the value as 1

[water]

Very strange

• Is there anything special with your Active Directory environment (like ADAM etc.)?
• What version of the AD do you run (Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 ...)?

[water]

With version 1.2.0

$iAD_Debug = 2

should work again.

Could you please insert this line?

What I don't understand why sometimes you get a result and sometimes the script crashes

Do you have an explanation?

in our environment we uses Windows 2008 R2 Standar. Also when i used AD 1.2.1.0 version the script was crashing but when i was using AD 1.2.0 version the script does not crashes but i get the return value as 1. I used ]$iAD_Debug = 2 and got the below error message informations.

AD UDF Version : 1.2.0
Scriptline = 3873

Error 0x80020009 most of the time is caused by missing permissions.

Is it possible that you are not allowed to read all properties?
