System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement - Error Adding User To Local Administrators Group But Not Other Groups?
Apr 30, 2012I 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.
View 6 RepliesC# - Add A User To AD Using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement?
May 26, 2009Using the .net 3.5 framework and C# I'm trying to add a new user to AD from C# and can't find any examples. I see that the PrincipalCollection object has an overloaded 'add' method but can't seem to figure out how it works. Can anyone help?
How create a new user object, add it into AD. Secondly, the user that will be adding in new people may not actually have the security to do this. Is there a way that I can impersonate another user account that will have permissions and add the account that way?
Get User By Distinguished Name Using System.DirectoryServices.Protocols
May 7, 2012I have a pretty extensive application that has been built to provide SSO to several web applications via OID. The problem is that we have seen some users getting "orphaned" on a role for one of the applications. I have written a method that returns the distinguished name for all of the users with access to that role. To perform the cleanup, I am trying to make sure that the users returned in the previous step actually exist in OID. I have been using the System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.SearchRequest class when searching for users or roles, but it is not working for a distinguished name. Below is my method. It has been changed a couple of times to try different ways to make it work.

Asp.net - Setting User's Password Via System.DirectoryServices.Protocols In AD 2008 R2
Jun 29, 2010I am connecting to a Microsoft Active Directory server in a DMZ from my .net application (asp.net VB .net 4.0). I need to create a new "inetorgperson" in an orgunit called "SingleCustomerAccount".
I have had to use the System.DirectoryServices.Protocols namespace for all the work, because the ADSI classes (System.DirectoryServices namespace) wouldn't work across the DMZ properly.
Anyway it's been working fine connecting to Active Directory on Windows Server 2003 R2; however we're running tests against Active Directory on Windows Server 2008 R2 (2008r2 in native mode for forest and domain) in order to upgrade.
My existing code to create a user does not work.

C# - Check If A User Is Already Logged Into Domain With System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagemen?
Nov 9, 2010I 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)
[code]....
I want to know how to check if user is already logged in on domain computer, then I don't have to ask them log into the application again.
Update:If it can't be done with System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagemen, is there any way to do it?

View 3 RepliesCreating A Local User With The Option "User Must Change Password At Next Logon" Set
Oct 19, 2010I am currently creating a tool that can manage local user accounts on Windows-PCs. I am using the functions described on
this MSDN page ; and after some struggling, I got most of them to work.
Unluckily, I haven't found a way to set the option "User must change password at next logon" while creating a new user account. I use the
NetUserAdd -Function to create the new user. I set the level to 1 and supply a
USER_INFO_1 -Structure . This structure accepts flags, and the flag UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED seems to be exactly what I want - but when I set it, the user can log on without changing the password first...
I'm developing on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit using Visual Studio 2010 Express.
Here's my code:
#Region "Constants"
Public Const UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED As Integer = &H800000
Public Const USER_PRIV_USER As Integer = 1

Update Local Tables From Remote Server?
Apr 19, 2010I have an off-line project. User uses a laptop to input data off line into local SQL server express. Once connected to domain (on line), local data will sync with remote SQL server using sync framework.

2) In application, create a dataset (dst_customer) based on sp_customer
3) Insert all customers data which is in remote SQL server but not in local SQL server based on CUSTOMER_ID

C# - Get Local User By SID?
Feb 28, 2011I want to get a local windows user by SID: I found this code
[ADSI]("WinNT://$Env:Computername/<SID=S-1-5-18>")
[URL]
I deduced from it, I could do it in (VB) .NET with this:
Dim strURL As String = "WinNT://" + strComputerName + "/<SID=" + strSID + ">"
Dim de As DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry(strURL)
de.Properties("whatever").Value.ToString()
However, this doesn't work.Anybody knows how I can do this WITHOUT looping over all users (which requires to convert from byte[] to string first, and then compare [case insensitive] a lot of strings, which makes it slow).

When I create an updated version of the application and redeploy it to the webserver, the add-in correctly detects that there's a new version and attempts to update it.

Jul 14, 2009I'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.

System.directoryservices And ActiveDirectorySecurity?
May 8, 2009I've read through what little I could find on system.directoryservices and setting object permissions in AD.What I need to do is grab a DE, read its security descriptor and add / modify it. I need to add permission to another user.
I know how to use the CACLS command for the file system and the concept is basically the same but I dont see any VB (or any ) examples out there that could show me how to grab a distribution list AD object and modify the descriptor so the user has permissions to update the DL (without actually being the owner).
