I'm looking for the code to list all users in the Administrators group on a local machine. I had something like that for VB script and I converted it to work under .NET but it's slow and not the thing I want.
Dim o_adsi_group As Object
o_adsi_group = GetObject("WinNT://" & System.Net.Dns.GetHostName & "/Administrators,group")
[code].....
Is there a way to delete local groups through vb.net? i.e. an equivelant to the c# function NetLocalGroupDel?
View 1 RepliesI 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 6 RepliesI'm building an control interface for a system that consists of 1-4 modules. In my interface, each module has its own control set, grouped in a groupbox. I only want to show the control groups for the modules that are actually connected and hide the rest.
This is easy to do with the visble property.
I also want all of the groups to be stacked vertically in the UI such that when one is hidden, the rest below it shift up into its place as if you deleted a row in a table. It needs to be able to come back just as easily.
I have looked over the code in the Active Directory Tutorial, but am having trouble understanding how to read through the groups to list their members.Our domain is large and I only want to list groups in an Organizational Unit called "LocationName".
View 1 RepliesI need a simple way to list all of the groups in Active Directory using VB.NET, either on a web page or winform. I've been trying to figure it out, but I've never used DirectoryServices before and I haven't been able to find a good example to learn from.

I'm writing code to parse through a list of file directories and identify which AD groups have access. That info is available in the operating system under the file properties security tab, but I can't find any code examples that retrieve that info in vb.net (or c#). Anyone have code that will do that?
View 1 RepliesIm trying to to simply list all security groups from active directory as i will then be doing checks on folders with the mathcing security group.
I can list all the users from active directory with this:
Dim myDirectoryEntry As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry(String.Format("LDAP://DC=domain,DC=org"))
Dim mySearcher As DirectorySearcher = New DirectorySearcher(myDirectoryEntry)
[Code].....
I notice you have an example code of listing groups Ad computer Accounts are a member of in c#, do you have an example in vb
View 2 RepliesThis is probably a really basic question - but I have a list of items (custom objects) being passed from one winform (.net 3.5) to another. I want to create a local list to store changes that only get persisted if the user clicks save. Currently if the user clicks cancel - the changes are still applied in the first form because I assume the objects are reference type.I have the save working as it calls a service layer to do the save and then refreshes the other form - but not the cancel.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to restrict access to an intranet site via Windows authentication. I would like to control access via active directory user groups, but my added AD groups don't appear to be recognised by .net. I started with the following test code in my app to determine if the group could be used...
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Me.Label1.Text = User.Identity.Name
[Code]...
The isuserinrole returns false and the group is not shown in getrolesforuser. However, getrolesforuser returns all of the built in windows groups as well as custom admin user groups created by our anti virus software (SOPHOS). This tells me that .net doesn't seem to have any issue with reading our active directory but I don't understand why my custom group is not being recognised.

I'm setting up a simple "machine status" page to monitor a server. I want to display the Drives on the machine, including mapped network drives and show their free space, etc.
I'm using System.IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives() to return a collection of DriveInfo objects. I then itterate that collection to display the relevant information.
The issue I'm having is that only local drives appear. (A:, C: and D:) No mapped drives "Network Locations" appear in the collection.
I'm thinking it has to do with the user account that's executing the code (if that makes any sense). So if the code is executing under the user "ASPNET" (or whatever it is) the drives would have to be mapped under that user. As it happens, I have the server set up like a workstation and it logs in automatically under the user with the mapped drives.
What I've done:
- I have set the Web Site's Anonymous Authentication user to that same user
- I have set the Identity of the Application Pool to which my web site is assigned to be that same user.
I need to find all records where the status is in the local list of Integer's.
In SQL I would do
Where Status in (select i from my list)
But I can't figure how to make it happen in Linq.
ListData = New IssueTrackerEntities2()
Dim queryString As String = "SELECT VALUE CallList FROM IssueTrackerEntities2.CallList AS CallList"
Dim Status As New List(Of Integer)

I have a button inside a one of my forms which contain a lot of coding and normally a lot of variables declaration.
Is there is a option/add-on that I can use/set that enable me to display all the variable used inside the sub or function I am currently working in?
All I can find is add-on to display the Properties/Methods and only Public variables inside the form or inside the class. but I need to list the local variables also.
I want to display in a listbox all the running processes on the local machine. Can anyone offer me some code to do this.

I am writing a vbs to create local port to connect to our printer server (i.e local port for \PrintServerPrintQueue1). I can create the local port succesfully through editing the registry HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionPorts and then restarting the spooler service in Windows 7 32bit. However, the same script cannot create the port in Windows 7 64bit. The registry was also changed but cannot create the local port after restarting spooler service. Does anyone know what difference between 32bit and 64bit Windows when creating the local port?
