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.
Alright so heres the issue when this code runs nothing happens! This is all I could find on the internet on how to disable an account and then remove it from the GAL.
Dim Val As Integer = CInt(AdObject.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("userAccountControl").Value) AdObject.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("userAccountControl").Value = Val Or &H2 AdObject.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("msExchHideFromAddressLists").Value = "TRUE" 'AdObject.GetDirectoryEntry.MoveTo(MoveTo) AdObject.GetDirectoryEntry.CommitChanges()
I am developing a web site which is basically used to display the properties and attributes of Active Directory users. When i enter a username it should show that particular users full details including : Login Id, first name, lastname, DN, account lockout status, disabled or not,password expiry etc. That is working fine. I also wanted to include USER ACCOUNT EXPIRY DATE, USER CANNOT CHANGE PASSWORD IS SET OR NOT, USER MUST CHANGE PASSWORD IS SET OR NOT. Kindly help me to add the code for these 3 purposes. Below given os the current code which is used to display other all attributes and properties.
I have a User Control which is a customer input form.I'm working on a sales system, when generating a sale, the customer data is populated by a Javascript Auto Complete, but when loading a saved sale, I need to paste a User ID into the control programatically.
Renders my control on the page within the markup of the parent document (in this case it's called newSale.aspx)In the code behind in newSale.aspx.vb I need to be able to programmtically change the value of the Controls customerID attribute. I can't seem to do it.This is what I have done, following various Googling attempts, but it is always leaving the customerID as zero
Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Init customerForm1.customerID = "0" '// default Customer ID if no invoice number If Request.QueryString("invno") <> "" Then
I have a WinForms app with SQL05 backend. It has a standard Login window where users are required to supply a username/password. This is validated using my own code and sprocs. Now one of my big clients has scared the bejezus out of me by saying, "Hey Chris, I want you to change your app in line with all our other IT systems so that users can use their common username and passwords with authentication against LDAP". :confused: Having had a moment to reflect, I have some questions (some very noob in nature!)
1. Is this requirement a big deal? :) Or straightforward to implement?
2. Does this mean that when user's double-click my app icon on the desktop, the authentication automagically happens without the need for a Login screen?
3. How on earth can I test this. My dev environment does not use AD, but I do have SBS2003
4. Can anyone point me to good resources about this on the web?
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 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:

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 a programmer for 6 years with VB6, now I am using VB 10 Express and working with Active Directory for the first time. I have been able to make a lot of things work with AD.I have been trying time and again to make this work. I have been googling and trying samples and keep running into one error after another, the latest is a [code] "There is no such object on the server."[code] My objective for this is to move the user account from the office OU to the Disabled OU. I have been fighting this for so long that I am going crosseyed.[code]
The telephone number updates successfully but the mobile number never updates although the strPhoneMobileNumber variable has a valid phone number value. The code executes without any errors. What do I need to do to change the mobile number?
Sub UpdateUserAcct(ByVal userLogin As String, ByVal strPhoneNumber As String, ByVal strPhoneMobileNumber as String) Dim dirUser As DirectoryEntry = GetDirectoryEntry() Dim dirUserSearcher As DirectorySearcher = New DirectorySearcher(dirUser)
I am using windows 2008 R2 Server and trying to Add a user in active directory .
I am able to save user ID of length less than 20 Characters.But when I am trying to increase this value to 30 characters then I am getting the error.
"System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x8007001F): A device attached to the system is not functioning. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007001F)"
This error when I searched on net give me various links saying that:
(a)verify if the issue is caused by the length of sAMAccountName
(b)The document of SAM-Account-Name also indicates that the length of it should be less than 20 characters.
I am using the code below to add user in Active Directory
public static void AddUser(ADUser adUser) { if (_logger.IsDebugEnabled)
I have multiple web applications that I've built for our intranet. I wanted to allow users to not worry about logging in, so these apps pull the currently logged on user when they hit the site. I used this code for this to happen:
Dim userName As String = User.Identity.Name CurrentUser = userName.Substring(userName.IndexOf("") + 1)
This works like a charm, no issues here. The next step is to query Active Directory for that logged in user to pull various information. How I currently have it coded, it works like a charm on the devleopment side (typical because I'm not running IIS).The problem becomes when I publish it to my IIS server (Windows Server 2008 R2 running IIS 7.5), I get error messages that point to the specific line in my code that queries Active Directory. The interesting part is these apps were working great last week. They broke after my server admin did the latest batch of Windows Updates (please note, I am running them using .Net Framework 4.0)Before I had each app setup so that Windows Authentication was Enabled, the other Authentication types were disabled. For providers, Negotiate is #1, NTLM is #2. For Advanced Settings, Extended Protection = Off, and Enable Kernel-mode authentication is checked.

In doing this I also removed the string that was higher up in my web.config section. This did not work either (fyi, this was a great reference[url]I then tripped across this article: [url] which seemed to be a similar situation. This article eventually referenced "Double Hops", after looking into this and trying a few things, this didn't solve my issue either.Next StepI am going to try a new IIS 7.5 implementation on a different Server 2008 R2 system and essentially start from scratch, to see if the problem recreates or not.
I am trying to create a VB.NET application that allows a user to copy an Active Directory user or template in order to create a new Active Directory user. Currently a user right clicks on a template and chooses Copy, then enters info for new user.user is then created just like the template user. How can I perform these operations using the VB.NET framework and Active Directory or Account Management DLL's?

I have a web form that uses AD to authenticate users. I want to be able to authenticate users with expired password, and redirect them to the password change page after authentication.
if for instance, a site admin reset a users password, I use the method below, to make the user reset their password on next logon.

I am working on a VB.net form, I am trying to connect to Active Directory, with a VB form have the user be able to search for a username and then return if the account is locked or unlock, if the account is locked I want the option to unlock the account based on the credentials of the user that is doing the search.
I'm simply trying to create a small tool, to create a username / password / OU group, and a few properties on a new user from a form with a few text boxes, and a button.I know how to connect to LDAP, though i'm having a problem getting this done.
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
