Add Custom Fields/attributes To Active Directory User When Created?

Apr 12, 2012

add a custom field and/or attributes in active directory (whichever their called) for a user. For instance, im wanting to add a field for employee id but can I also get this field to show up in active directory users and computers to see if its working correctly? Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. - "Sherlock holmes" "speak softly and carry a big stick" - theodore roosevelt.

Changing Information In Active Directory

Apr 25, 2012

I currently have need to modify the Active Directory information for all of my users. At the moment, they have phone and mobile numbers stored in the format xxxxx-xxxxxx. The first x is ALWAYS a 0.

What I want is to do is enumerate all users in a chosen container in AD (with the option to include or exclude subcontainers), then read in any phone numbers they may have (bearing in mind not everyone has a direct dial number or mobile). I then need to replace the initial 0 with +44 (0) and write that information back into Active Directory.

VS 2008 - Rendering Images When Changing Active Layer

Aug 6, 2010

I'm working on my second project; a layered image displayer.
It works like this:
- The user adds a new "image layer"
- The user can set the texture, image, size, rotation and color
- This all can be done using a selection square and some dialogs

It all works fine, but I found that there is one thing still unclear to me:
- Can you render layers without totally starting over (refresh) on every change?

As example, I have 200 image layers. I change one image layer somewhere in between them, and the program has to refresh all those images. (1 - 200)
This takes awfully long.

Now I found a small solution; I gave all layers a "finalimage" so it can render a single layer. Next I used, in the program, a back, active and fore layer. This way the program only has to render 3 images when changing the "active" layer. When you select another layer, all 3 layers will refresh. (with all those 200 layers).

Here is the code to get an idea:
Dim OLDINDEX As Integer = -1
Dim BackLayer As New Bitmap(800, 600)
Dim ActiveLayer As New Bitmap(800, 600)
Dim FrontLayer As New Bitmap(800, 600)
Public CurrentIndex As Integer = -1
Public PerformGlobalUpdate As Boolean = False
[Code] .....
It all works fine, but the only problem now is that it takes ages to select a different layer.

VS 2008 Access Active Directory Through CLR In SQL Server?

May 9, 2012

I wanted to create some CLR functions that will access Active Directory, but I discovered I can't add a reference to "System.DirectoryServices" to my CLR project.

I googled it, and found that I have to add the AD dll as an Assembly to the SQL Server. Like so:

CREATE ASSEMBLY [System.DirectoryServices]
FROM 'C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727System.DirectoryServices.dll'
WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE
GO

The problem here is that I have to set the "PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE" to the dll... this means that I have to set the database as "TRUSTWORTHY ON", and this opens a can a worms!

VS 2008 Getting Server Name And Type From Active Directory?

Aug 13, 2009

I have done VBscripting the past and I have actually made this work in a script however I am trying to convert it to VB for the client so that it has a nicer interface and basically is a better program. There are several parts to this program but I am stuck on this part right now. I am attempting to get a list of all servers from Active Directory and then sort them by type. The program will run however it will not produce any results. Its just an empty file. I figured the problem was with my filtering but I just don't understand why this will not work. I have written it in two different ways and get the same result each time.

Imports System.DirectoryServices
Imports System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory
Imports ActiveDs

Obtain Information From Active Directory In A VB 2008 Console Application?

Dec 29, 2009

I am new to VB; am developing my first VB program; and require some help in getting started. I wish to query information from an Active Directory server using a Visual Basic 2008 console application. I have .NET Framwork 3.5 installed and VB 2008 Express installed. Do I need to install anything else (any additional libraries or components)? Is VB 2008 Express capable of accessing information from Active Directory? Where can I find information about the classes and methods I should use query information from Active Directory?

VS 2008 Active Directory Domain/User/Password Validation Over VPN

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:

VS 2008 Read Distinguished Name Of Current User From Active Directory

Aug 31, 2010

I need to read the distinguished name of the current user (the one running the program) from Active Directory.I'm warm (I know I should use System. DirectoryServices and DirectorySearcher), but somehow I can't get the code to work properly, nor can I find a working example.Now, after having spent hours searching for examples on the internet, I'm getting quite frustrated with myself, so I turn to you hoping someone can provide an example.Why I need this: when people run this program, it needs to detect which OU they belong to. We have several sites (for example Rotterdam and Amsterdam) and depending on what site the user's OU is, I need to perform some actions. So I hope to derive f.e. "OU=Rotterdam" from their DN.

Validating A Username Against Active Directory Without Using Directory Services?

May 15, 2012

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.

Changing The Attributes Of A Folder?

Jun 17, 2009

I'm writing a VB program that will delete the contents of several folders, but it leaves the top folder. For example, after graduation and summer school, we delete the folders that belong to the (now) prior students. Also, we retain the folders for the returning students, but we delete the contents of their folders. Every year, all students start out with empty folders. We do this practice to manage our disk space.

With a read-only file, via code, I first change the attributes of the file to normal and then delete it, via

SetAttr(fileItem.FullName, FileAttribute.Normal)
fileItem.Delete()

I'm looking for a way to change the attributes of a folder from Read-Only to something else, like Normal.

Changing File Attributes (BitWise)?

m_ArchiveBoolean, m_HiddenBoolean, m_ReadOnlyBoolean, m_IndexedBoolean, m_CompressedBoolean are all form level booleans that's set from their appropriate Checkboxes on the form before this code runs in a BackgroundWorker.

Why is it that this code works:

In this 2nd one attributes are being changed, but they're the wrong ones and I can't pinpoint it right off hand.

Edit: What the overall goal of this is that if the user has the attribute checkbox checked then the file needs to have it set, other wise the attribute (if it's present) needs to be unset.

Active Directory Display Name?

Jun 17, 2008

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, _
