Checking To See If User Is In Administrators Group?
Nov 27, 2009
Dim Principal As New System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrinipal(New ystem.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity(My.User.Name))I'm using My.User.Name in the example. I'm aware the My.User namespace has a IsInRole method, however, I well need to check a list of users and not just the current user so can't just use that or WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent. This exception is being thrown when declaring the Principal variable:"There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request"
I need my program to add all users selected in a checkedlist box to the local administrators group.I will be logged in as a domain admin when doing this , if soeone tries to run this without permissions it should prompt them for domain admin creds[code]...
I 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.
to add a windows user.The problem is i need to add the user to a group, but the groupnames are localized.E.g. the MS-example uses an english computer, which means you can get the guest group like this:
grp = AD.Children.Find("Guests", "group")
But on a non-english computer, the 'Guest' groupname is localized, meaning for example on my german language OS, the group name for Guests is "Gäste".Which means for the support example to run on my computer i need to change that line to
grp = AD.Children.Find("Gäste", "group")then it works.Now if the OS is any other language, how can I find the name for the guest user ?Or how can i get the guest user name from a sid ?
I'm trying to match up a specific group name and see if it exists for the currently logged in user using Active Directory roles. If the Group Name exists for the Current User, I want that group name to be displayed in a drop down list. Example: If current user is in BIG Group, display BIG in drop down list.Problem: All I am getting is SIDs and I'm not able to get anything to match up to the group name and nothing will show up in the drop down list.I also get the following Error:Error: Object variable or WIth block variable not set.How do I fix this?? here is the code I am using:
Private Sub GetMarketingCompanies() ' code to populate marketing company drop down list based on the current logged in users active directory group that
How do i checked that within a GroupBox 1 radio button has been selected? I want to provide the user with a message box telling them they have not made a selection from one of the 12 radiobuttons within the group box?
I know that using Dim currUser As String = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") retunrs the DomainUsername, but I want to know what Group that user is in say in Active Directory.
I'm trying to add a user to a group. This is a Novell user, but it should be similar to Active Directory. Here's the code I have, but it doesn't seem to work. It returns the user's name, but doesn't add them to the group.[code]...
How do I detect if an arbitrary user is an administrator on a machine? I have the user's domain and username but not password. The user is NOT the currently logged in user,so I can't just use WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.
I have some code that checks user authentication in a windows .VB .NET 2008 program.
We have 5 plants, each with its own HR plant department. Each plant has an AD group called "HR-Plant1", "HR-Plant2" ect. with its user/members.
I'm looking for some code that will take the windows user name, check to see if that user is in a certain plants group and then let him into that form. We would then dump the need for the user to login to authenticate.
Each form reads data from there local SQL DB and we already have setup that in the app.config.
In looking I couldn't seem to find any good code on passing in the group name into an AD query and verifying a single user is a member.
I am writing a very specific program that checks and changes some registry keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop key. I've had no issues with this in vista or xp. but windows 7 gives me permission errors. the problem is that Administrators group is missing from the permissions table in the registry for this key. I can fix this by opening regedit and right clicking permissions for this key and adding Administrators to the table. However I don't want the end user to have to do this.so how can I add administrators group to the permissions table of this key using vb.net code?Everywhere I look online people say don't write to this part of the registry if I don't have to. well I have to as it is a windows key that I must change. all permissions are set correctly for the program I just need to know how to add administrators to the permissions list in the registry in windows 7 using vb.net?

i have 2 groups Online and offline i want to check if the user is online and if so move them to the online group
i have the query and that to check it i just dont know how to move the users to the correct group
I'm developing an installer, and I would like to write to a folder accessible only to administrators. So, I need to display the UAC dialog and authenticate as an administrator. I know I could do this by having a separate executable that I run from the installer GUI, but I'd rather a solution that allows me to authenticate whenever I want in the application. Is this possible in .NET?
I'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.
I'm writing and application that creates a home folder for a given user. I can set the permissions fine, but on some of the folders I need to remove a specific group/user, "Everyone" would be an example for one of the folders. I can make it so that they are denied from all the permissions on the folder, but I can't actually get the group/user remove.
Is it possible for a VB.NET web application to check the user's Windows security group and behave differently accordingly?I'd like to disable a certain bit of functionality if the user does not belong to a specific windows group.I've tried using the Microsoft code at url... but get the error "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference" on the "irc = WindowsIdentity.Groups" line (I have imported all the required namespaces).Does anyone know if it's possible to get the user's security group?
I have text box in my program where I need the user to enter at least six characters. They also need to include at least one alphabetic and one numeric character.My idea is to create a loop that uses the IndexOf string manipulation to check each character. I'm familiar with the IsNumeric method .
I am using Active Directory to authenticate users for an intranet site. I would like to refine the users that are authenticated based on the group they are in in Active Directory. how to find what groups a user is in in ASP.NET 4.0 (VB)?
End Class When I am writing code, and i want to use thesenew properties or fields, the intellisense shows me the new properties and fields mixed with those inherited. Is there a way to show them all grouped togheter separated from those inherited ( a part giving them a common prefix in the name)?
We are using Microsoft Authorization Manager (Start -> Run -> AzMan.msc). Anyways one of the store mechanism is to store things in an XML file. I need to write a utility which will analyze the file and show it's finding to the user.It stores many things among which one is the SID of a User/Group or any object from ActiveDirectory or LocalMachine. Now that I got the SID, how do I find what type of object is it and how do I find it's properties?
this questions has be answered partially, but I can't find any full tutorial for this problem.I created my own user control (an advanced list with columns). Each column has different attributes like width, colour and text.I want to able to add this user control onto a form and select/edit the different attributes of each column. Hence, for each column in my user control (these columns are created beforehand, no columns can be added or removed from it) there should be a property in the property-menu. Each of these column-properties should be expanded (like the normal size-property in most default vb-controls that can be expanded with the little plus to show the width and height individually.What i mean by this, is: In the property-menu there should be attributes like Column1, Column2, Column3. Each of these attributes should be expanded to show the attributes like width or colour.
Currently I have different properties for different values of the same column, like Column1Wodth, Column1Colour, etc, but I want to group this under one value Column1.I think this is quite an easy solution, but forgive me, I spent more than 4 hours on google, but couldn't find a proper solution.
I am attempting to keep user inputs into our application as clean as possible. One way I am attempting to do this is not allowing incorrect data type in fields (not allowing alpha characters when expecting numeric values)I found and implemented the following code:
Private Sub txtSocial_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtSocial.KeyPress Dim UserKeyPress As Char = e.KeyChar Dim isKey As Boolean = e.KeyChar.IsDigit(UserKeyPress)
Ok I am making an RPG that is checking for collisions whenever the user is walking...Basically i made an array of points in which the user is not allowed to access and if they do try to access them it will not walk...
Public Class cityshop2010 Dim abletomove As Boolean = True Dim moveto As Point Dim badpoints(1) As Point
[code]....
with that code there I want to be able to say badpoints(0-50) or badpoints (0 to 50) whatever... or even badpoints(*) for any badpoint....How do i make it check all the badpoints?
