How do I detect if an arbitrary user is an administrator on a machine? I have the user's domain and username but not password. The user is NOT the currently logged in user,so I can't just use WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to match up a specific group name and see if it exists for the currently logged in user using Active Directory roles. If the Group Name exists for the Current User, I want that group name to be displayed in a drop down list. Example: If current user is in BIG Group, display BIG in drop down list.Problem: All I am getting is SIDs and I'm not able to get anything to match up to the group name and nothing will show up in the drop down list.I also get the following Error:Error: Object variable or WIth block variable not set.How do I fix this?? here is the code I am using:

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"

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 2 RepliesI'm writing and application that creates a home folder for a given user. I can set the permissions fine, but on some of the folders I need to remove a specific group/user, "Everyone" would be an example for one of the folders. I can make it so that they are denied from all the permissions on the folder, but I can't actually get the group/user remove.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible for a VB.NET web application to check the user's Windows security group and behave differently accordingly?I'd like to disable a certain bit of functionality if the user does not belong to a specific windows group.I've tried using the Microsoft code at url... but get the error "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference" on the "irc = WindowsIdentity.Groups" line (I have imported all the required namespaces).Does anyone know if it's possible to get the user's security group?

We are using Microsoft Authorization Manager (Start -> Run -> AzMan.msc). Anyways one of the store mechanism is to store things in an XML file. I need to write a utility which will analyze the file and show it's finding to the user.It stores many things among which one is the SID of a User/Group or any object from ActiveDirectory or LocalMachine. Now that I got the SID, how do I find what type of object is it and how do I find it's properties?
View 2 Repliesthis questions has be answered partially, but I can't find any full tutorial for this problem.I created my own user control (an advanced list with columns). Each column has different attributes like width, colour and text.I want to able to add this user control onto a form and select/edit the different attributes of each column. Hence, for each column in my user control (these columns are created beforehand, no columns can be added or removed from it) there should be a property in the property-menu. Each of these column-properties should be expanded (like the normal size-property in most default vb-controls that can be expanded with the little plus to show the width and height individually.What i mean by this, is: In the property-menu there should be attributes like Column1, Column2, Column3. Each of these attributes should be expanded to show the attributes like width or colour.
Currently I have different properties for different values of the same column, like Column1Wodth, Column1Colour, etc, but I want to group this under one value Column1.I think this is quite an easy solution, but forgive me, I spent more than 4 hours on google, but couldn't find a proper solution.
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.
View 3 RepliesI am using VB .Net 2.0. I know I can detect the OS using
System.Environment.OSVersion
Can anyone tell me if there's a list somewhere where I can find what that generates for different OS versions.
Specifically I am trying to detect if a user is running Windows 7 64-bit.
I have an application that when it starts, it checks the internet to see if a new version is available. My problem is this: If there is no net connection, the program 'pauses' as it tries to check for the new version.
Is there a function that I can use to detect if the user is currently online, with a working connection?
I'm trying to work out how to detect if the user has pressed an f key I have this so far:
Private Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress
Label1.Text = e.KeyChar
End Sub
This detects when the user presses a character key and outputs it via Label1.text, but it doesnt work on all keys?
Dim hostname As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry(TextBoxIP.Text)
Dim ip As IPAddress() = hostname.AddressList
TextBoxIP.Text = ip(0).ToString()
I have a windows form with the code above to get the ip address of the user. what would be the easiest way to get the country location of the user? based on the IP in the textbox. The solution doesnt need to be 100% accurate but good enough to work most of the time. the simpler the better.is there are any work arounds or built in fuctions for pulling a users country or language, this would be better than creating or managing a giant database.
I need to have 4 text boxes and three command buttons. One button should be used for exiting the program, one button should be used for clearing all of the text boxes, and the last button should be used for any calculations/conversions. You should also have a radio button group for the user to choose entry temperature type.
One text box should be used for the entry of an initial temperature. The radio button group will then allow the user to select the entry temperature. When the button is clicked for conversion, the other three text boxes will populate with answers to the conversion. and if I enter 37 degrees Fahrenheit, the Fahrenheit text box should read 37 after the conversion.)

I have a webForm app that registers a user in the database based on the information provided with a web service, auto-generates a random password and username, and e-mails the user a link to take an application based on the marketing company selected. How do I get only the currently logged in user's groups to show up under the MarketingCo_DropDownList. Each user allowed access to the system will have membership in at least one of the marketing groups as defined by the web.config. For example, a user that is currently logged in and belongs to the BIG group under location "algACOMP_user_BIG", will only be able to see BIG in the Marketing Company drop down list. A user that is currently logged in and belongs to the NIS group located under "algACOMP_user_NIS" will only be able to see NIS in the Marketing Company drop down list.
Here's my best guess (located under Private Sub GetMarketingCompanies() method in default.aspx.vb):
If InStr(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Groups = "AMG", item.MarketingCompanyShort = "AMG", CompareMethod.Text) Then
marketingCo.Items.Add(String.Format("{0} | {1}", item.MarketingCompanyShort, item.MarketingCompanyName))
