Can someone tell me how to determine if an account is disabled in AD using VB.net 2008? I've looked at the "userAccountControl" property and this one seems to have it's flags changed when the account gets disabled.[code]I can't seem to figure out the proper statement to determine if the account is disabled or not. It doesn't seem to work out the same way as the lockout status.[code]

I am developing an application to create users on AD LDS (ADAM in the previous version). I would like to use an Active Directory account to authenticate in AD LDS, and then create and modify users (in AD LDS) but I simply don't know how to do it using VB .Net or C#. This method is used in the ADSI Edit when I choose Advanced and Specify Credentials. After some research I believe that I have to user user Proxy Bind. ADSI Edit permits to bind with a domain account. So I want to replicate that process using VB .Net (preferably) or C#. This is the code that I use to connect to AD LDS: [Code]

I've written approx 4 projects that utilize a central DLL for database access. The DLL was written in VB.NET using the .NET 3.1 framework. All the code works great. Recently, I went through all the code and updated the connection strings to use a new username and password since they were using the SA account on SQL Server 2005. After recompiling and uploading the DLL to the web server, I disabled the SA account. All of a sudden, the DLL stopped working. It just stopped. I know that the code is ok because I copied it into a aspx file and it worked. I had to re-enable the SA account in order to get things back to normal, but I really would like to eventually disable it.
View 1 RepliesI have a multi-line textBox disabled through vb.net :
myTxtA.enabled= false
The html it outputs :
<textarea name="myTxtA" rows="10" id="myTxtA" disabled="disabled" style="width:99%;">
...
</textarea>
That's the source code I get through the browser but the textArea is still editable in the browser. There is no javascript modifying myTxtA, and the only other reference to myTxtA in my codeFile is the following :
If somethingNotHappeningHere Then
myTxtA.ReadOnly = True
End If
I can't see why my textarea is still editable. Can the class of the div containing the textArea modify its behaviour ?
PS: I am not concerned about if the data is sent or not. I'm just looking for the textArea to be uneditable.
Edit: Same problem on IE7 and Firefox 3.5
Edit 2: When I copy all the html source from my browser into a new html file the textarea is properly disabled...

View 3 RepliesIs it possible (I'm sure it is) to validate a user's credentials against Active Directory without using Directory Services?I'm building a Browser-Based WPF application which requires users to login to and get validated via Active Directory. Since .Net 4.0 (or maybe 3.5) accessing Directory Services from an Application requires the application to be fully trusted. Since IE won't provide full trust to an application if it doesn't have the signing certificate in it's cert store, the application is refused startup permission.
If I don't use Directory Services, then I can leave the application as Partial Trust and validate my user's credentials without having to install a certificate on each user's machine.
I have made a program that i would like to be able to move from PC to PC; at the moment i would have to change the string directories within the program for each PC i would like top run it on.
By having the user select their drive letter and type their account name into a text box could this be implemented into a directory.
Below is the code, as i was hoping it was coded (lol never is tho).
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Filename As String = ("*.torrent")
[Code]......
I am trying to check whether the button is enabled or disabled. I am doing the following
Assert.IsTrue(Browser.IsEditable(button))
but it gives me error that expression does not produce a value. Any one know how to achieve this. Currently I am using VS2010 MStest in vb.net.
I have a list of possible names I want to make an email out of, but I don't want to manually type it in to hotmail's signup page because most names are already taken so I compiled a list of names I want into a textfile and I just want to test each to see if they are taken or not automatically because its very tedious to do it manually.How can I do this? The page source does not contain the error message saying "this name is not available" so what can I do? Where is the response stored when the user clicks "Check Availability"?

View 6 RepliesI 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 ?
I'm having a weird problem with active directory and the display name attribute. I can create an AD account with no problems, the account shows up, I can log on as the account, everything appears to be working as intended. The problem is, our company requires that the display name be in the form of "Lastname, Firstname". Thats all fine and dandy when you create an AD account use the MMC snap-in, you type in the users name as "Lastname, Firstname" in the display name field and when the account is created, the display name shows as "Lastname, Firstname" as you would expect.
The problem I am having is this, whenever I create an AD account programmatically, I can't for the life of me get the display name to show up as "Lastname, Firstname". The displayname property is set as such, checking the AD account using the MMC snap-in shows the display name is set correctly, but when looking at the list of user accounts, the account is always displayed as the users username. The account name I am using is "Test User", see pic below.
if you try to rename the account, the field it tells you it is editing is called Full Name? I can't find a property in AD even called Full Name so I am completely confused, here is a picture of me trying to rename the programmatically created account, as you can see, the display name field is set correctly even though it doesn't display that way. And of course, after renaming the account as seen below, the display name shows up correctly as "Lastname, Firstname"Here is the code I use to create the account, just for reference.
Public Sub CreateActiveDirectoryAccount(ByVal sUserName As String, ByVal sFirstName As String, _
ByVal sLastName As String, ByVal sUserPrincipalName As String, ByVal sPassword As String, _
ByVal sHomeDrive As String, ByVal sHomeDirLocation As String, _

View 1 RepliesIm trying to connect to AD and carry out some basic tasks for a .Net application written in VB .Net. I would like to create the application so when it loads, it automatically binds to the default AD domain that the user is logged onto. This has led me to writing the code

domain.RefreshCache()
But this doesnt work.
i am trying to get a list of all users in the active directory on a domain. The following code is being used but doesnt seem to work:
