RE: [ActiveDir] VBSCRIPT ADSI IADs Get Method

[Burkes, Jeremy [Contractor]]

Yeah I was trying to avoid ADO (Recordsets).  I can still use GetObject but must pull the OU, then search the OUfor the matching username (pain).  So I am using the GetObject(Winnt://).  Thank you everyone for the help.   Jeremy   From: Almeida Pinto, Jorge de [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Almeida Pinto, Jorge de Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 3:14 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] _vbscript_ ADSI IADs Get Method   It is possible... you only have to do it another way... query AD for the object that matches a certain sAMAccountName ------------------------------------------------------------------- sDomainDNSW2Kx = "ADCORP.LAN" ssAMAccountName = "JORGE" Set oConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Set oCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command") oConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject" oConnection.Open "ADs Provider" Set oCommand.ActiveConnection = oConnection sQuery = "SELECT DistinguishedName FROM 'LDAP://" & sDomainDNSW2Kx & "' WHERE sAMAccountName = '" & ssAMAccountName & "'" oCommand.CommandText = sQuery Set oResults = oCommand.Execute sObjDN = oResults.Fields("DistinguishedName") ------------------------------------------------------------------- cheers, Jorge   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Burkes, Jeremy [Contractor] Sent: Wed 11/30/2005 9:05 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] _vbscript_ ADSI IADs Get Method Nevermind, just found the answer to my own question, and it is no, must use the persons CN, no other attributes are accepted, good to know.  Thanks for the potential help.   Jeremy   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Burkes, Jeremy [Contractor] Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 3:02 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] _vbscript_ ADSI IADs Get Method   Everyone,             I am trying to write a _vbscript_ to connect to a user account using the samaccountname attribute to update some info.  Is this even possible and if so can someone provide a code sample, I would think it would look something like this for Test in the Microsoft domain:               LDAP://sAMAccountName=Test, OU=Users,DC=Microsoft,DC=COM or LDAP://sAMAccountName=Test,CN=Users,DC=Microsoft,DC=COM               Then again, maybe this is not even possible.  If not should I use ADO instead even though I am returning 1 record with each query, seems inefficient way to me when I can just use an ADSI pointer.   Jeremy -------------------------- Jeremy Burkes System Analyst/MIS SPHQ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PH: 202-764-1270 Fax: 202-764-1503
