RE: [ActiveDir] [Slightly OT] OU of a user in AD

[Robbie Allen]

If you want to get the RDN (e.g. cn=Users), use this:

 

     GetObject(objUser.Parent).Name

 

If you want to get just the name of the parent (e.g. Users), use this:

 

     GetObject(objUser.Parent).Get("name")

 

This isn't the most efficient way to do things if you are going to iterate over a bunch of users.  You'd be better off parsing the distinguished name of the user.  There are some functions in IADsTools that can help with this if you are interested in that.

Subject: [ActiveDir] [Slightly OT] OU of a user in AD

Does anyone know if the OU of a user can be retrieved via a script ?

I am using the following to TRY and set the description of the user to its OU (dont ask). but I cant find an OU parameter or similar that i can query.

For Each objUser in objDomain

    objUser.description=objuser.ou

    objUser.SetInfo
