View 2 RepliesI 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

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.

View 1 RepliesI'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.

View 3 RepliesI 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?
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 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.

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)

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:

View 2 Replieshow can check if a user is in a ad group?
View 3 RepliesI have some code that checks user authentication in a windows .VB .NET 2008 program.
We have 5 plants, each with its own HR plant department. Each plant has an AD group called "HR-Plant1", "HR-Plant2" ect. with its user/members.
I'm looking for some code that will take the windows user name, check to see if that user is in a certain plants group and then let him into that form. We would then dump the need for the user to login to authenticate.
Each form reads data from there local SQL DB and we already have setup that in the app.config.
In looking I couldn't seem to find any good code on passing in the group name into an AD query and verifying a single user is a member.
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"
