C# - Get The Local Group Name For Guests/administrators?
Jul 9, 2010
to add a windows user.The problem is i need to add the user to a group, but the groupnames are localized.E.g. the MS-example uses an english computer, which means you can get the guest group like this:
grp = AD.Children.Find("Guests", "group")
But on a non-english computer, the 'Guest' groupname is localized, meaning for example on my german language OS, the group name for Guests is "Gäste".Which means for the support example to run on my computer i need to change that line to
grp = AD.Children.Find("Gäste", "group")then it works.Now if the OS is any other language, how can I find the name for the guest user ?Or how can i get the guest user name from a sid ?

I am using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement to try to add a local account to the local administrators group with the following code but am getting the error below on the group.Members.Add(usr) line. Both usr and group are created as objects and if I create a Test group, I can add the user to the Test group. I know the group object is the local administrators group and not the domain group because i changed the description on the local administratrors group and the group object is correct so it appears to be something specific to the local administrators group.

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"

I want to be able to get and set values of Local Policy Editor using vb scripts (or for that matter any other command line thing). The problem is that for my requirement I cannot rely on the machine in question having anything like powershell. I want to be able to run a script/command and get/set the values of things inside Local Group Policy Editor.
eg. I want to be able to set things like running gpedit.msc and set the value for "\Computer ConfigurationAdministrative TemplatesNetworkOffline FilesDefault Cache Size", and I want to do this without manual intervention.

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 trying to create a data entry system for a local community group. I am working with VB.NET 2010 and MSAcess 2000. I am completely new to using a DB in VB.Net. I have created a form with the membership table bound as details on the form and the classes they are attending as a DataGridView. I used all the Visual Studio GUI tools for this. It was reasonably straightforward once I got the hang of things. My problems arise when I try to ensure that a user cannot move to a new record or create a new member without first saving any changes they have made.
I am using ColumnChanging events in the ...DataSet.vb class to set flags to indicate whether any data values have been changed on the form. My problem is that the ColumnChanging events for the classes DGV fire immediately on changing the data whereas the ones for the member details don't fire until I start to move to a new record. I don't know if it is important but my member navigation is achieved by means of a combobox on the form that lists the member names from the table. I have absolutely no idea why this works - it just did; the form updates as soon as the user selects a new member in the combo box.

The following steps give a Guest shutdown policy.
1- Click run, and type the gpedit.msc, to start "Local Group Policy Editor".
2 -Expand "Computer Configuration" -> "Windows Settings" -> "Security Settings" -> "Local Policies" -> Then click "User Rights Assignment".
3- In the Policy window, Select "Force shutdown from a remote system", double click it, it will pop a properties window.
4- Click "Add user or group button", add a user and name it Guest.
I need to know if it's possible to manipulate and add the user or group programmatically. I'm using Visual Basic 2008.

I am writing a very specific program that checks and changes some registry keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop key. I've had no issues with this in vista or xp. but windows 7 gives me permission errors. the problem is that Administrators group is missing from the permissions table in the registry for this key. I can fix this by opening regedit and right clicking permissions for this key and adding Administrators to the table. However I don't want the end user to have to do this.so how can I add administrators group to the permissions table of this key using vb.net code?Everywhere I look online people say don't write to this part of the registry if I don't have to. well I have to as it is a windows key that I must change. all permissions are set correctly for the program I just need to know how to add administrators to the permissions list in the registry in windows 7 using vb.net?

I'm developing an installer, and I would like to write to a folder accessible only to administrators. So, I need to display the UAC dialog and authenticate as an administrator. I know I could do this by having a separate executable that I run from the installer GUI, but I'd rather a solution that allows me to authenticate whenever I want in the application. Is this possible in .NET?

I have the following LINQ statement, which performs a simple linq query and assigns the resulting values labels on an asp.net web form:
Dim db As New MeetingManagerDataContext
Dim q = From s In db.vwRoomAvailabilities _
Where s.MeetingID = lblMeetingID.Text _
[code]....
Originally, there was going to be only a single row result and you can see I'm using FirstOrDefault() to grab that single value which works great. But the design has changed, and multiple rows can now be returned by the query. I need to now Group By the MeetingID above, and SUM each of the selected columns (i.e. s.AllRequestedDoubles).

Using VB
Say I have five checkboxes in a groupbox. I want to run an if then statement where if all boxes are not checked I would perform a certain action. I currently have it set to work using code similar to this
If box1.Checked = False And box2.Checked = False And box3.Checked = False And box4.Checked = False And box5.Checked = False Then
End If
Is it possible to reference the entire groupbox has having a false boolean property?
While doing this is managable - what if I had more check boxes?
