System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement - Error Adding User To Local Administrators Group But Not Other Groups?
Apr 30, 2012
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.

Using the .net 3.5 framework and C# I'm trying to add a new user to AD from C# and can't find any examples. I see that the PrincipalCollection object has an overloaded 'add' method but can't seem to figure out how it works. Can anyone help?
How create a new user object, add it into AD. Secondly, the user that will be adding in new people may not actually have the security to do this. Is there a way that I can impersonate another user account that will have permissions and add the account that way?

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 ?

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"

Does anyone know how this can be done? The problem is that when you run the script to add a domain user to the local group as a local user you have no permissions to query the domain. Is there a way to pass a user name and password when doing this? [code]...

I have a pretty extensive application that has been built to provide SSO to several web applications via OID. The problem is that we have seen some users getting "orphaned" on a role for one of the applications. I have written a method that returns the distinguished name for all of the users with access to that role. To perform the cleanup, I am trying to make sure that the users returned in the previous step actually exist in OID. I have been using the System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.SearchRequest class when searching for users or roles, but it is not working for a distinguished name. Below is my method. It has been changed a couple of times to try different ways to make it work.

I am connecting to a Microsoft Active Directory server in a DMZ from my .net application (asp.net VB .net 4.0). I need to create a new "inetorgperson" in an orgunit called "SingleCustomerAccount".
I have had to use the System.DirectoryServices.Protocols namespace for all the work, because the ADSI classes (System.DirectoryServices namespace) wouldn't work across the DMZ properly.
Anyway it's been working fine connecting to Active Directory on Windows Server 2003 R2; however we're running tests against Active Directory on Windows Server 2008 R2 (2008r2 in native mode for forest and domain) in order to upgrade.
My existing code to create a user does not work.
System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.DirectoryOperationException: The server cannot handle directory requests.

I have computers joined to a domain. I'm writing a desktop application that ask for a username and password to authenticate user against Active Directory.Sometimes, user uses this application on the computer that is not joined to the domain.I'm using .NET 3.5, System.DirectoryServices, and System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement. Code sample how to authenticate users:
Private Function ValidateExternalUser(ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String) As Boolean
Using context As PrincipalContext = New PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "your_domain_here")
Return context.ValidateCredentials(username, password, ContextOptions.Negotiate)
[code]....
I want to know how to check if user is already logged in on domain computer, then I don't have to ask them log into the application again.
Update:If it can't be done with System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagemen, is there any way to do it?

Ok, I have this code... and it works. If I want to add it to say... a checkbox or something of the sort.
Public Sub groupaddarray()
Try
'Alpharetta Staff
If Form1.CheckBox23.Checked = True Then
Dim grp As IADsGroup
[Code]...
My question... how can I double click the listbox, and then it keeps adding these groups to say... another text box, and when I click add groups it will read the textbox, and add multiple groups instead of just the one?

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 am trying to create a data entry system for a local community group. I am working with VB.NET 2010 and MSAcess 2000. I am completely new to using a DB in VB.Net. I have created a form with the membership table bound as details on the form and the classes they are attending as a DataGridView. I used all the Visual Studio GUI tools for this. It was reasonably straightforward once I got the hang of things. My problems arise when I try to ensure that a user cannot move to a new record or create a new member without first saving any changes they have made.
I am using ColumnChanging events in the ...DataSet.vb class to set flags to indicate whether any data values have been changed on the form. My problem is that the ColumnChanging events for the classes DGV fire immediately on changing the data whereas the ones for the member details don't fire until I start to move to a new record. I don't know if it is important but my member navigation is achieved by means of a combobox on the form that lists the member names from the table. I have absolutely no idea why this works - it just did; the form updates as soon as the user selects a new member in the combo box.

The following steps give a Guest shutdown policy.
1- Click run, and type the gpedit.msc, to start "Local Group Policy Editor".
2 -Expand "Computer Configuration" -> "Windows Settings" -> "Security Settings" -> "Local Policies" -> Then click "User Rights Assignment".
3- In the Policy window, Select "Force shutdown from a remote system", double click it, it will pop a properties window.
4- Click "Add user or group button", add a user and name it Guest.
I need to know if it's possible to manipulate and add the user or group programmatically. I'm using Visual Basic 2008.

EDIT: Ok, I found the Groupbox Control but how do i use it? should i just drag other controls inside it or i should add controls directly into it?

I'm upgrading my site and pasted some code into a new form in VS 2011 Express beta. I get the standard error below: Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'System.DirectoryServices' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases.
I went ahead and added a reference for system.directoryservices. Still, the errors remain. I go back to references to make sure it's been added, and it is no longer checked. Repeated tries and the same results.

I've read through what little I could find on system.directoryservices and setting object permissions in AD.What I need to do is grab a DE, read its security descriptor and add / modify it. I need to add permission to another user.
I know how to use the CACLS command for the file system and the concept is basically the same but I dont see any VB (or any ) examples out there that could show me how to grab a distribution list AD object and modify the descriptor so the user has permissions to update the DL (without actually being the owner).

I need to pull back the security descriptors for the active directory attribute "msExchMailboxSecurityDescriptor" on user account objects.So far, all I can find is that I need to use this class to do so, but I cannot find any example code of how to start to pull what I want out using it.I'm restricted to using .Net v2.0.
