Active Directory UDF - Help & Support (II)

[Tjalve]

So might there be a collision between the outlook ex and Ad UDFs?

[water]

Do you call _OL_Open before _AD_Open or do you create your own COM error handler?

[Tjalve]

No. _AD_Open() is called first and no, om not that familiar with COM

I tried comenting out the outlookex include. Still no luck

[water]

Can you change line

If $__iAD_Debug = 0 And Number(StringReplace(@AutoItVersion, ".", "")) < 3392 Then _AD_ErrorNotify(1)

to

If $__iAD_Debug = 0 And Number(StringReplace(@AutoItVersion, ".", "")) < 3392 Then
    _AD_ErrorNotify(1)
    SetError(0) ; Reset @error which is returned by _AD_ErrorNotify if a COM error handler has already been set up by the user
EndIf

in function _AD_Open and give it a try?

Same error.

The script you posted in works. When compared to #159 only the list of includes is different before _AD_Open is called.

Can you add the includes from #159 to #157 one by one and test until we find the include that causes the poblem?

I just dont get it... I did what you said and it still works... ?

Ok now im starting to understand....

It seems that it works when i put the program in a dir that all AD users have access to. But if a place it in a dir and grant the specific user to that folder. It doesnt work anymore. So it seems to have somthing to do with access rights to the speciic folder that holds the script. Does this make any sense?

[water]

That's what I expected

As none of my UDFs does run any code by just including the UDF, There must be a function call before _AD_Open that generates the problem.

[water]

It does. I have a similar behaviour here. I can run a compiled script from a place shared by all users but it crashes when I run it from my home drive on a network share. Looks like execution of exe files is limited to some trusted locations.

Hi,

did some tests with the ad function _AD_IsMemberOf()

When I ask if the @UserName is Member of the group "users" in the AD it works fine.

When I ask if the @ComputerName is Member of the group "computers" in the AD id does not work.

$test = _AD_IsMemberOf("Computers", @ComputerName)
If ($test = 1) Then
...
EndIf

Set parameter 3 to True. This will check the primaryGroup as well. The primaryGroup behaves differentely as it does not contain all members (could be thousands and thousands).

It sure seems that way.

I want to run the script from a location that is exclusive to IT staf. ive just added right for the reception to that folder. But when i moved the entire script. It works. So the question is, what rights do i need to set on the folder in order to get it to work?

[water]

IIRC it isn't a missing permission of a folder. It's a global security setting. You can define the trusted locations where you are allowed to run programs from.

Unfortunately I can't find my Windows 7 docu right now

Im not sure thats it. Becuase I have a custom location (a tash folder, that all users on the domain has access to). If i run the program there, it works or all users.

Tried this, no change

$test = _AD_IsMemberOf("Computers", "pcsetup8", TRUE)

What's the value of @error and @extended after you call the function?

[rmarshall]

I can't seem to get AutoIT to remove a number at the end of a name.

I'm using it to create new accounts. So I'd enter First Name and Last Name (so Richard Marshall would create a username as rmarshall)

If the username is in use, I need to add a number to the last name - how do I remove the number from the last name but still keep the number at the end of the username?

[water]

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Something like this (untested)?

$sName = "Marshall"
$sGivenName = "Richard"
$sAccount = StringLower(StringLeft($sGivenName, 1) & $sName)
$iCounter = 0
While _AD_ObjectExists($sAccount)
    $iCounter = $iCounter + 1
    $sAccount = StringLower(StringLeft($sGivenName, 1) & $sName & $iCounter)
WEnd
_AD_CreateUser("OU where to create the user", $sAccount, $sGivenName & " " & $sName)

How do I get the value of the @error?
