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 trying to create a new user and set their password in AD LDS using asp.net vb. I'm binding to an instance of a directory entry, which is working fine. And I can add a user without a problem. The problem is that I can't seem to set the password when I add the user.Is this the right way to set the password
Is 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 want to make a program that is similar to Windows Explorer. It will have a button that when you click it it opens a FolderBrowserDialog and it will have an area that displays the contents of the selected folder. I want to have a label that displays the current folder path (i.e. 'USERDocuments...') and I also would like a feature to search all files on the computer.Also, is it possible that when I click on a file in the contents of the selected folder it displays its information (i.e. Name, Size, etc.)? And can I also make it so that if you double click on another folder in the current folder's display it opens that folder? And can I have a button to go up one directory?
First off a short background of the project I am working on- I am developing a program that will be run off removable media (i.e. USB Flash drive). This will be a �virtual desktop� which you will be able to take with you and have the same �desktop� on any system. As we know drive letters can change with each host system the drive is plugged into, I need to be able to determine the path for the flash drive and access a specific folder ( i.e. My Documents)
I have an picture box(representing the icon) placed on my form (form1) and when I click the icon I want to be able to open and view the a specific folder from the portable drive. I need a click event that will determine a dynamic drive letter for a directory on the removable drive and then open that directory in an explorer window.
Using VB 2010 Express, I will try to explain what I want to achieve:1. The user installs my program.2. In an Explorer window (Vista/Win7) the user will right click any file.3. The program checks if there is an item called "MyApp" in the context menu (i.e. the menu with for instance the "Open with..." item). If not, then create the "MyApp" item which launches "TheRealApp.exe" that the user installed. Place the item after the "Print" item.
I having a program built in VB.Net and would like to take in the users windows name and then compatre that with a security group in AD, if they are in a certain group then redirect them to the next page otherwise block them.I have tried many ways using many different snippets of code from different forums, but cannot find a code piece of code that works?
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 ?
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, _
i would like to be able to login on a webpage using a valid active directory username and password.user name and password are entered in textboxes. if they are correct then i would like to redirect to another page.how can this be coded.in a second task after some code is performed, log in as an administrator using code and unlock the account.i have heard that this is called impersonation. how can i perform the above?i'm using visual web developer 2008 and vb.net
Im 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
Dim domain As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://DC=domain,DC=com", Nothing, Nothing, AuthenticationTypes.Secure) domain.RefreshCache()
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.
Error Line 350: Line 351: Dim adUsers As DirectoryEntries = dirEntry.Children Line 352: Dim newUser As DirectoryEntry = adUsers.Add("CN=" & sUserName, "user") Line 353: Line 354: newUser.Properties("givenname").Add(sFirstName)

This is the error that I get : System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x80072020): An operations error occurred. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80072020) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges
I have a list of computers from the AD which also have IP addresses in one of the fields. The IP address does not seem to be accurate. It looks like the AD updates are not as frequent as the DHCP server.
I am trying to Join the domain using VB.NET 2005. I cannot see anything I am missing but am getting an error code that hasn't proven much use. I get a return error code of 1332.[code]
We are developing our application using MS Visual Studio 2008 VB .Net. We have to use Active Directory Server for authenticating the user logging into the application. Does any one has code samples intergrating .Net and ADS?
We are cunrretly developing a solution for compact framework and windows mobile 6.5. The idea is that the user have to login using custom login for on the phone before they can do anything else. Our backend is WCF, and here we have planned to implement an interface based solution where the customer can select between a variety of "AuthenticationSources" one including Active Directory.Is there any clever way to do this using built in .NET functionality, or do I still have to do it the old fashion way like:
1) Write domain, user and password in the windows mobile login form.
2) send this info using http webservice to the wcf server, where the server check for this device, which is the preferred login source. If it is ad, it will load the ADauthenticator class, peform a LDAP query against the ad selected, and simply return true or false if user passed or not, then the webservice return tru/false to the device.
3) If the return answer is true, the device will store an encrypted registry key on the device indicating to the device client that the user is logged on.
4) If the user select logout, or if the device is restarted, or loses power, the registry key is cleared on boot.is this a good enough solution? The devices are NOT considered to be members of the actual domain. And this solution should handle a solution with a database source for logins.
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:
[Code]....
I am coding in .NET 2.0 as I am unsure if the server it will live on will have 3.5 installed.
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 currently making my first program, its an active directory clean up tool. Right now I'm having diffculty getting it to search sub OUs that it sees, I can get it to look at one layer of the sub OUs. I just want more of a dynamic code so I don't have to keep repeating it like I did do. Also I'm not sure that I'm looking through active directory the best way.
