I am putting together an old post here with this new one. My main goal is to combine these two portions so that the search does not need to be ran on each and every computer.
[Code]...
I can set the path as WinNT://domain.name/username...and I get a list of something, are they files? i am not sure? Second portion of code searches the computer for the java.exe to display its version, as well as searching for any indication of a java file on that computer.
How do I search all the user accounts in a domain in .NET? Not the computer names in the domain, but the user accounts, that's what you are using to log on Windows.
I have a function that works perfectly when I attempt to add a user from the same domain into a group of the same domain.
Function AddUserToGroup(ByVal strUserDN As String, ByVal strGroupDN As String, ByVal strGRPDC As String, ByVal strUserDC As String) As Boolean Dim oUser As DirectoryEntry
[Code]....
The error is actually being thrown on the Invoke line, but as I said earlier, if the user is in the same domain, this works perfectly.
I have a question. I'm deploying my VB app that performs some task VIA SCCM. The application is run with the NTAuthoritySystem account.
I would like to copy a log file to a server all domain users/computer can right to this folder. I'm trying to get a log copied to the server but since it's running as the system account it can't authenticate to the share to save the log file on XP machines.
Can somebody show me example code of how to save a file as a different user when running the program with the system account . Would this be secure to use a domain account to impersonate and save the file?
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 use a simple application on a client in our domain. When i open the application as admin-user all works fine.When a domain-user with no special rights open the application theres is the following error message[code]...
I have a users domain and user id. I would like to retrieve the full user name. The data is coming from a SQL table for display onto an asp.net page. Anyone know how to get the users name for someone other then the user who is using the asp.net application?
I am writting an application in VB 2008. The application will reside on a 'Manufacturing Workstaion'. The workstation is assigned a user ID of Prodxx. Once the workstation is booted up and the application is running the 'Operator" must login to the application. The users who login to the app must have a valid account on the domain. I need to validate the individual users against the domain security. Many Users will login and logout during the day.
we have a script which we use here to output a list of all the groups a user belongs to (for records before deletion) and it works fine for the first domain, but any sub domain are not searched. (due to "LDAP://rootDSE" I think)here is our current script
On Error Resume Next Const ForWriting = 2 UserName = InputBox("Enter Username","Enter Username")
[code]....
I want the script to search through all domains and sub-domains it can find until it finds the user, or runs out of domains to search. Once found, it then dumps the groups to a file (like it does now)
i am looking for information on how to get the current active directory users name? Basically i have a recording package program and some of the users have expressed the want to have it track who is entering which notes. So when a note is saved the program will take a look at who is currently logged into the computer and save it to the database. I have found how to do this for mac address, computer name and ip address but have not found anything yet for getting current logged on user.
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'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 able to find out when is the last time a user log into a domain but I am also wondering if it is possible to find out what's the machine's name or IP.
In my Active Directory, I see there is an attribute called logonWorkstation but it seems not being used (no value stored)
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?
I have a piece of business-soft to make the lives of our employees easier. It's fairly typical, a tabbed-MDI style main form with a load of buttons that activate each of its sub-modules.
I have security set up on it so that someone in sales can't enter the module for purchasing, etc... I authenticate the user by having them type in their network password and check it against the AD server with this function:
'Remember to Imports System.DirectoryServices for this to work Private Function ValidateActiveDirectoryLogin(ByVal Domain As String, ByVal Username As String, ByVal Password As String) As Boolean
I need some guidance on the best way to proceed with searching a file content. I have a large file (see attachment) that is in text form, some of these files could be upto 50 times as big, therefore creating a huge file. These files contain information that is produced from another application and therefore I am unable to change the format of the file.
I'm in a bit of a quandry. I am trying to build a simple search form where the user selects the column title and in puts the criteria then clicks the search button. This is the code I am using
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click details = ComboBox2.Text 'column name selected by user specifics = TextBox1.Text 'criteria input by user
I have a search function in my app which is a groupbox with a textbox that contains the search keyword and a couple of radiobuttons. Do I have to create a keydown event for every single radiobutton and textbox? Or is there a better way? I tried making a keydown event for the groupbox but that didn't work.
If your interested, this is my
Private Sub Search() Dim textBoxContents As String = txtBoxKeyword.Text Dim keyword As String = Nothing
I have a program that I copy a file from one server to another. This has been working well if the servers are on the same domain.I now need to copy a file to a server on a different domain. If I were to do this manually it would prompt me for my username and password.
I don't see any way to put a username and password with doing an IO.File.Copy. Is there a better way to do this?IO.File.Copy(strSource, strDest)
I have a file that is being generated automatically on a server in a Windows domain, say, called, "prod" and I will need to have VB.NET to transmit this file to another server in another Windows domain, say, "QA", where QA and Prod have different credentials altogether and I have to authenticate that credential every time I opened up the destination folder.Therefore, I guess the regular filecopy method would not work?
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 an FTP Server outside of the domain (In a workgroup). I need to move files using an application called by the FTP client on the FTP server to a share within the domain using VB.net:
(System.IO.File.Move(SourcePath & Filename, TargetPath & Filename))Impersonation will not work neither will mapping a drive (As no user will be logged on)This is a console application that takes the above parameters.
I'm working on a little script to automate tasks across 12 servers, that are all on the same domain and have a similar setup. The tasks are to create a new folder, to then copy contents off the network into it, and to create a virtual directory in IIS 6 pointing to it. Ideally I'd like to log errors but that's a later concern. My approach was to write a VB Script to connect to WMI on each server in an array, then use it to run off a batch file. While the VBS works if I tell it to create a folder directly, it does not run (any part of) the batch file, nor give me any errors.[code]...
I have a winforms application and would like to allow the application to open and save files from/to a folder on the network (acting as a document manager). Only one user has access to the folder and I can hard code that users credentials into the application. Where using AD on windows server.How do I allow the application to do this?I would prefer not to use impersonation but from my research it appear I may have to. I would welcome suggestions for alternative methods. I do have some code for impersonation which seems to work. However I cannot open the file using process.start I get access denied.
I'm creating a search function to search through a binary file and find a record based on the users input. Surprisingly, that isn't the problem! The problem I'm having is that as part of this I'm using a procedure to display results in text boxes, and I'm getting the error "Too many arguments to private sub display customer"I've encountered this error before, but never really knew what it was... Here is my code.
Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click FilenameCust = "F:\College\CustomersFile.bin"
