System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement - Error Adding User To Local Administrators Group But Not Other Groups?
Apr 30, 2012I am using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement to try to add a local account to the local administrators group with the following code but am getting the error below on the group.Members.Add(usr) line. Both usr and group are created as objects and if I create a Test group, I can add the user to the Test group. I know the group object is the local administrators group and not the domain group because i changed the description on the local administratrors group and the group object is correct so it appears to be something specific to the local administrators group.

View 1 RepliesUsing ADSI Object IIsIPSecurity Revisited
Oct 11, 2010Using ADSI object IIsIPSecurity thread from 2008. I am trying to set up a restricted web interface I can use to import and export IP restriction lists between web servers. The lists are rather long, average length of entries are about 1,000 strong.I've run into the infamous "Value doesn't fall within the expected range." error while trying to use the old COM setup.The answer given to the above referenced thread would work except that I do not have reference to the System.DirectoryServices (neither in the Imports or direct referencing, just doesn't exist). I am using Windows 7 Ultimate and Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate with VB.NET on the development machine and the servers are running Windows 2003 Standard. Because of client restrictions the sites are currently using .NET 2.0 platform.Question simply is why can't I find the reference and how can I get it to show up.

Creating A Local User With The Option "User Must Change Password At Next Logon" Set
Oct 19, 2010I am currently creating a tool that can manage local user accounts on Windows-PCs. I am using the functions described on
this MSDN page ; and after some struggling, I got most of them to work.
Unluckily, I haven't found a way to set the option "User must change password at next logon" while creating a new user account. I use the
NetUserAdd -Function to create the new user. I set the level to 1 and supply a
USER_INFO_1 -Structure . This structure accepts flags, and the flag UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED seems to be exactly what I want - but when I set it, the user can log on without changing the password first...
I'm developing on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit using Visual Studio 2010 Express.
Here's my code:
#Region "Constants"
Public Const UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED As Integer = &H800000
Public Const USER_PRIV_USER As Integer = 1

Nov 5, 2009I have followed this walkthough at http:[url]...but I am having problems working out how to save changes to the Local Database Cache so that I can use the bidirectional sync. This walkthough does not provide the code to save local changes,I have added the line of code for the bidirectional sync and it works if you drag datasources direct onto the form from the XSD but this uses the component TableAdapterManager and the method UpdateALL which I cannot see how to implement in this Walkthough ?how I change the local Database Cache and update back to server in this walkthrough ?
View 6 RepliesC# - Get Local User By SID?
Feb 28, 2011I want to get a local windows user by SID: I found this code
[ADSI]("WinNT://$Env:Computername/<SID=S-1-5-18>")
[URL]
I deduced from it, I could do it in (VB) .NET with this:
Dim strURL As String = "WinNT://" + strComputerName + "/<SID=" + strSID + ">"
Dim de As DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry(strURL)
de.Properties("whatever").Value.ToString()
However, this doesn't work.Anybody knows how I can do this WITHOUT looping over all users (which requires to convert from byte[] to string first, and then compare [case insensitive] a lot of strings, which makes it slow).
VS 2010 Datagridview - Bound To A Local Databse Table Through A Linq To SQL Class - Adding Does Not Work
Sep 5, 2010I have a datagridview which is bound to a local databse table through a Linq to SQL class.
Everything works as I would expect, when the application runs, up to a point.
If, in the datagridview tasks pane I enable Adding, Editing and Deleting all work as expected.
If I disable Adding & Deleting, leaving Editing enabled, Editing works as expected.
If I disable Deleting & Editing, but leave Adding enabled, Adding does not work, despite the row for new records being displayed. I can move around the row but not enter data.
I suspect somehow its the datasource as opposed to the datagridview that is the cause of my problem but as I say, I can add rows if the Enable Editing option is selected.
Changing the relevant properties programatically makes no difference.
I've been searching for the reason for a couple of days without success.
I have a workaround, by leaving Enable Editing set and programatically setting each row during the RowPostPaint event to be readonly except the row for new records. I would just like to understand what is going on.

View 1 RepliesRemotely Add Domain User To Local Group?
Jul 14, 2009I'm in the process of writing a script for use in our lab. I need it to remotely add a domain user to the local group "Remote Desktop Users" on some remote desktop servers we use to bridge two subnets. The person adding the user would have admin rights for that remote server. I would use GPO, but we don't control the domain and it'd be damned near impossible to convince IT to set aside a OU for us with just those machines. I've been looking at using WMI in the script I've been working on but I haven't got the slightest clue how I'd implement it.

View 3 RepliesUser Adding Row In DataGridView?
Dec 9, 2010I'm having an incredibly frustrating problem with datagridview that seems like it should have a very simple solution, but I haven't been able to find it yet.I have a form with a datagridview on it that is only usually 1 to 2 rows long but can be much longer. So when the form loads it populates the datagridview with values for however many rows there should be, and there is a blank last row. On the column header on that last row is an asterisk. If you click on the asterisk or anywhere in the blank line, it adds a new row where you can enter data, however, the blank line with the asterisk does not move down to be under it. In fact the asterisk stays on that line, and if you click anywhere on that same line, it adds another row, placing it on top of the one that was just added, and this can happen forever. I have a sub that refreshes the whole table and repopulates, however I can't run it in the new line code with an "Operation is not valid because it results in a reentrant call to the SetCurrentCellAddressCore function." which I can't seem to get past. If I exit the form however and come back in (it runs the refresh on loading), now all the lines that were added show up, with a blank line with an asterisk at the bottom.
View 1 RepliesAdding An Icon To User Control?
Jan 11, 2012how to add an icon to a user control - I'm talking about the icon that shows up in the toolbox. I have found some articles on the Microsoft site, but honestly they are so complicated and esoteric that I simply cannot follow them - it's like every synaps in my brain is misfiring when I try to read it!
I would love to see a very simple example of how this should be done.
I've tried embedding the image into the resources, setting the build action to Embedded Resource, creating a ResourceFinder class (as per MS advice) and then preceding the class with:
<ToolboxBitmap(GetType(ResourceFinder), "ExposureMeter.Exposure.bmp")>
.. but so far I feel like I'm shouting into a cave without a single bat flying out...
