[2005] Active Directory With LDAP Retrieving User Object Properties?
May 4, 2006
I'm trying to obtain the Terminal Services Profile Path for a user using VB.Net and the System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher. I am able to get the user object's first name, last name, city, state, zip, etc. However, there is one property that eludes me. I cannot manage to find a way to get the terminalservicesprofilepath property.This is how I did it in VB6 and it worked perfect:
visual basic code:
Dim TSPath as string
Dim FirstName as string
The telephone number updates successfully but the mobile number never updates although the strPhoneMobileNumber variable has a valid phone number value. The code executes without any errors. What do I need to do to change the mobile number?
Sub UpdateUserAcct(ByVal userLogin As String, ByVal strPhoneNumber As String, ByVal strPhoneMobileNumber as String) Dim dirUser As DirectoryEntry = GetDirectoryEntry() Dim dirUserSearcher As DirectorySearcher = New DirectorySearcher(dirUser)
I tryed searching for an user in active directory using the code below but it gives me the error in the title of this post above:
AD = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://OU=SchoolOUhere,OU=Staff,DC=garrard,DC=ketsds,DC=net", "", "", AuthenticationTypes.Secure) AD2 = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://OU=_Groups,OU=Staff,DC=garrard,DC=ketsds,DC=net", "", "", AuthenticationTypes.Secure)

I'm writing code to connect to my Active Directory server using LDAP. I can connect usingLDAP://celtestdomdc1.celtestdom.localbut I can't connect usingLDAP://celtestdomdc1.celtestdom.local/CN=Users;DC=celtestd
I'm designing a program to search through all users in Active Directory and get the lastLoginTimeStamp attribute. From there I'm having a report(.csv) genererated based on who hasn't logged in 30,60, 0r 90 days. I believe I'm having a problem in my loop somewhere. My code works when I LDAP an OU with users inside but when I try to get it to seach subcontainers I get several exceptions thrown at me. Here is a sample of my loop code:
'Initialize and open report file ReportFile = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter(My.Settings.ReportsPath & "LoginAuditReport.csv", False)
I'm working on a web based "Forgot Password" to reset AD passwords, using LDAP. Well, I can unlock the user, but not change the password.
Here is my function : Private Function ChangeLocalUserPassword(ByVal User As String, ByVal Pass As String) As Boolean Dim pinger As New Net.NetworkInformation.Ping Dim usr As DirectoryEntry _de = GetDirectoryEntry() If _de Is Nothing Then [Code] .....
How I can get around hard coding the Admin user on the page? Would creating an IUSR with a few Admin privileges work?
I have a WinForms app with SQL05 backend. It has a standard Login window where users are required to supply a username/password. This is validated using my own code and sprocs. Now one of my big clients has scared the bejezus out of me by saying, "Hey Chris, I want you to change your app in line with all our other IT systems so that users can use their common username and passwords with authentication against LDAP". :confused: Having had a moment to reflect, I have some questions (some very noob in nature!)
1. Is this requirement a big deal? :) Or straightforward to implement?
2. Does this mean that when user's double-click my app icon on the desktop, the authentication automagically happens without the need for a Login screen?
3. How on earth can I test this. My dev environment does not use AD, but I do have SBS2003
4. Can anyone point me to good resources about this on the web?
I am trying to retrieve the telephone number from Active Directory for my script, I found alot of examples online, and I tried to implement what I think should make sense (but since I really don't know vb.net that well, this is problematic). Below is the piece of

I am developing a web site which is basically used to display the properties and attributes of Active Directory users. When i enter a username it should show that particular users full details including : Login Id, first name, lastname, DN, account lockout status, disabled or not,password expiry etc. That is working fine. I also wanted to include USER ACCOUNT EXPIRY DATE, USER CANNOT CHANGE PASSWORD IS SET OR NOT, USER MUST CHANGE PASSWORD IS SET OR NOT. Kindly help me to add the code for these 3 purposes. Below given os the current code which is used to display other all attributes and properties.
I apologize if this is the wrong forum. I'm searching for all computer objects in an OU in Active Directory. I'm able to get the computer name, DN, and description but cannot get the memberOf properties. I'm wanting to get all groups the computer is a member of. My code is below:
I am having some issues with the following script for adding an object to AD - The object being a user and then modifying the properties on it.

I would like to have all properties on a user from active directory. I find some property name as : distinguishedName, SAMAccountName, sn, givenName, TelephoneNumber, mail If you have a list of property? As each user has an ID in AD ?
With this code I can see what happening I'm just showing you what've I've done so far. Basically I want to use an If statement to see if an active directory object contains one of the keywords found in an INI file. I was wondering is this possible with just an IF statement or do I have to use a loop or a for each and how would I do that using one of those two
I am trying to create a VB.NET application which will (hopefully) reduce some time spent on some of my departments helpdesk calls. The part that I am stuck with is how to use VB.NET to remove a user from a group. The following is code that I have been playing with:

I have this problem that just recently started happening.I've created this snippet that isolates the problem, which is basically, the same VBScript that used to return all of my users from Active Directory, now only returns the first 100 users.If I filter by group, then i get all of the groups (which is more than 100).The problem started happening last November, then went away for a while and has come back.The server guys tell me that nothing should have changed there.When I run this script for various domains, i get a numbered list of just the first 100 users.I'm running this on IIS (which hasn't changed)[code]
I'm a developer for a College we have an active directory.I need to query Active Directory with the Pc name and return it's path in the Active Directory tree.
I am a programmer for 6 years with VB6, now I am using VB 10 Express and working with Active Directory for the first time. I have been able to make a lot of things work with AD.I have been trying time and again to make this work. I have been googling and trying samples and keep running into one error after another, the latest is a [code] "There is no such object on the server."[code] My objective for this is to move the user account from the office OU to the Disabled OU. I have been fighting this for so long that I am going crosseyed.[code]
I am using windows 2008 R2 Server and trying to Add a user in active directory .
I am able to save user ID of length less than 20 Characters.But when I am trying to increase this value to 30 characters then I am getting the error.
"System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x8007001F): A device attached to the system is not functioning. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007001F)"
This error when I searched on net give me various links saying that:
(a)verify if the issue is caused by the length of sAMAccountName
(b)The document of SAM-Account-Name also indicates that the length of it should be less than 20 characters.
I am using the code below to add user in Active Directory
public static void AddUser(ADUser adUser) { if (_logger.IsDebugEnabled)
I have multiple web applications that I've built for our intranet. I wanted to allow users to not worry about logging in, so these apps pull the currently logged on user when they hit the site. I used this code for this to happen:
Dim userName As String = User.Identity.Name CurrentUser = userName.Substring(userName.IndexOf("") + 1)
This works like a charm, no issues here. The next step is to query Active Directory for that logged in user to pull various information. How I currently have it coded, it works like a charm on the devleopment side (typical because I'm not running IIS).The problem becomes when I publish it to my IIS server (Windows Server 2008 R2 running IIS 7.5), I get error messages that point to the specific line in my code that queries Active Directory. The interesting part is these apps were working great last week. They broke after my server admin did the latest batch of Windows Updates (please note, I am running them using .Net Framework 4.0)Before I had each app setup so that Windows Authentication was Enabled, the other Authentication types were disabled. For providers, Negotiate is #1, NTLM is #2. For Advanced Settings, Extended Protection = Off, and Enable Kernel-mode authentication is checked.

In doing this I also removed the string that was higher up in my web.config section. This did not work either (fyi, this was a great reference[url]I then tripped across this article: [url] which seemed to be a similar situation. This article eventually referenced "Double Hops", after looking into this and trying a few things, this didn't solve my issue either.Next StepI am going to try a new IIS 7.5 implementation on a different Server 2008 R2 system and essentially start from scratch, to see if the problem recreates or not.
