Great excuses. Function _AD_DisablePasswordExpire works perfectly. But Func _AD_DisablePasswordChange doesnt work at all

After

$Result = _AD_DisablePasswordChange("username")
ConsoleWrite("Result: " & $Result & ", error: " & @error & ", extended: " & @extended)

i have Result: 0, error: -2147352567, extended: 0

Thank you for support.

Hi water,

Problems with _AD_GetObjectsInOU.

Searchscope param base and onelevel doesn't work. I got always subtree results.

Client: XP SP3, Autoit 3.3.4.0, AD.au3 0.37

AD Win2003 SP2.

Regards

Stefan

@deeptrancer

Error: -2147352567 (hex: 80020009: DISP_E_EXCEPTION - Unanticipated error occurred) usually means you have no write access to the AD.

This is not very specific because AD doesn't return any further information (or this information is not accessible by AutoIt).

Could you please check that you have full access to the AD by using the Microsoft MMC to set the option in AD?

@ 99ojo

I see. Could you please change line 1098 from

$oAD_Command.CommandText = ";" & $sAD_Filter & ";" & $sAD_DataToRetrieve & ";subtree"

to

$oAD_Command.CommandText = ";" & $sAD_Filter & ";" & $sAD_DataToRetrieve

and then post the test results? Edited March 28, 2010 by water

Hi water,

that's it. Works like expected.

Thanks a lot.

Hello, is it possible to specify a username and password when connecting to AD?

can AdOpen be used with, $sAD_UserIdParam and $sAD_PasswordParam?

but what is the correct way to use them?

Thanks for any help

Yes you can. Please have a look at _AD_Open.htm. It describes the parameters you can use and the format of the parameters.

[Erlend]

Can it be used like this?

do i have to specify

$SDNSDomain, $SHostServer, $SConfiguration?

$SUserid =("user1")
$SPassword=("password1")


_AD_Open($SUserId, $SPassword,)

;rest of application under:

Thanks

Hi Water!

There seems to be a (little, I hope) problem with _AD_GetObjectsInOU() in the current version 0.37 -

querying for groups returns an empty array... In the older version 0.33 _AD_GetObjectsInOU() it works normal.

Here's my test code:

#include <Array.au3>
#include ".\..\AUTOIT\Include\Water\AD\AD.au3"
#include ".\_AD_GetObjectsInOU_OLD.au3" ; AD.au3 V0.33

_AD_Open()

Global $test1
Global $test2
Global $test3[1]

$test1 = _AD_GetObjectsInOU("DC=de01,DC=itvollmann,DC=com", "(&(objectCategory=group))", 2)
_ArrayDisplay($test1, "1")

$test2 = _AD_GetObjectsInOU("DC=de01,DC=itvollmann,DC=com", "(&(objectCategory=group))", 2, "samAccountName,samAccountName")
_ArrayDisplay($test2, "2")

_AD_GetObjectsInOU_OLD($test3, "DC=de01,DC=itvollmann,DC=com", "(&(objectCategory=group))", 2)
_ArrayDisplay($test3, "3")

_AD_Close()

The result of the second test is a bit strange.

Even when specified "samAccountName," (mind the comma!) it works,

but this will result in a 2D array...

This problem occurs no matter which filter (name=*, objectCategory=group, objectCategory=user, etc.) I use.

This could be a problem with the array handling in this function...??? May be you can help me fixing this flaw.

Greets,

Happy Eastern!,

Hi,

have you changed:

Known bugs: (last updated: 2010-03-28)

•_AD_GetObjectsInOU: Returns an empty array when the parameter $sAD_DataToRetrieve consists of a single value.

As a workaround please replace $aAD_DataToRetrieve with $sAD_DataToRetrieve in line 1129, 1130 and 1133

See:

Version 0.38 has been released.

For download please see signature.

just tried

_AD_CreateMailbox.au3

and I get an error when opening it.

But I love these scripts has made my life a bit easier.

[water]

What error do you get?

• COM error?
• Or return value <> 1? If yes, what is @error and @extended set to?
• How do you call the funcion? Which parameters do you provide?

[ICANSEEYOU7687]

oh sorry, lol I was at work and a customer came in so I didnt have a chance to look at it thoroughly.

but it was in the

_AD_CreateMailbox.au3

example script.

Just yelling at my for some local variables not being declared.

[water]

The example script runs fine here. Can you please post a copy of the error messages?

[ICANSEEYOU7687]

it gives me an error that says

Line 37 (File

"C:\path\autoit\_AD_CreateMailbox.au3");

$IMailbox = GUICtrlCreatInput($SMailbox,241,40,259,21)

$Mailbox = GUICtrlCreareInput(^ERROR

Error: Variable used without being declared

I tried declaring the variable same error. I think im doing something stupid. Maybe it cant find the exchange server or something

[water]

I will have a look at it as soon as I return from vacation. Due to the volcano in Island this could take some time - at least 1 week.

[MattZ]

I rewrote my script so it uses AD.au3 instead of ADFunctions.au3. Everything is working as expected except for _AD_MoveObject. I added the error logging from the example script and get a -2147352567 from Active Directory. I can manually move the object without any problems. I am also removing all the groups from the user, disabling the account and changing the password without issues.

Any Ideas?

Can you please post the code you use? You can strip it down to the _AD_Open and _AD_MoveObject calls.

What do you move? A User or a Computer? If it's a computer you have to append a "$" to the computers name.
