Matthew,
 
I am not familiar with the custom action, but do you know if it is
impersonating the user running the install or as the local system
account (which the MSI process uses).  I suspect it is the later, in
that case the custom action will work if the install is running on a
domain controller, but will not work on a member server/workstation,
because the local system account only has local significance.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Creating user in AD



Is there anyone else out there that you know of who could shed some
light on this topic? 

 

I'm currently trying to have an install create an AD user and I can't
seem to get it working. The install is intended to be run on a machine
other than the domain controller. The user that I am logged into this
machine as is a domain admin, so the rights are there to create the
user.

 

I've looked at the source for the user creation and I can't seem to
pinpoint anything. It's not a password issue as it does not return the
error message relating to an improper password. Short of modifying the
source code and trying to recompile it with more error handling, does
anyone have any ideas? Is there something I'm missing?

 

Thanks in advance!
