I understand how to find a user using the exact LDAP url
LDAP://domain/CN=Username,OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com
but what if I need to find a user without looking in the particular OU. How do I search the entire domain?
How do I search all the user accounts in a domain in .NET? Not the computer names in the domain, but the user accounts, that's what you are using to log on Windows.
View 3 RepliesI am putting together an old post here with this new one. My main goal is to combine these two portions so that the search does not need to be ran on each and every computer.
[Code]...
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 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
[Code]....
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.
I 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 RepliesIs it possible with LINQ to SQL to search the entire database (obviously only the parts that are mapped in the .dbml file) for a string match? I'm trying to write a function that will take a string of "Search Term" and search all mapped entities and return a List(Of Object) that can contain a mixture of entities i.e. if I have a table "Foo" and table "Bar" and search for "wibble", if there is a row in "Foo" and one in "Bar" that contain "wibble" i would like to return a List(Of Object) that contains a "Foo" object and a "Bar" object.

I am in the process of creating a program, using Visual Basic Express, for a physics professor who has recently had to rename all 1500 questions for his course. I created a database that has the old names, new names, and the entire contents of each question. The program seemed an easy enough idea, but has proved to be very difficult for me. I am new to programming (this is only my third go at it) and have searched for an answer to my problem for at least 20 hours, and have yet to find anything that will work for what I need.
What I would like is to have a text box in which he can type in a keyword (such as "Sun", "ISS", "Force", etc) and for the program to search throughout the entire "questioncontents" column and pull out any questions that contain those words into the datagrid. As of yet the closest I have gotten is for it to search the first word of the column, which is not very useful since most of them start with "The". I had also thought of creating several keyword columns and then just having it search through those, but I couldn't figure out how to apply the filter to multiple columns.
i need to search any text in my entire database and get the result in my dataset. my database is in ms-access. i have written the following function for the same:
Dim con As OleDbConnection
Dim ada As OleDbDataAdapter
Dim ds As DataSet
[Code].....
the query written herein works fine if you copy and run it in access so i guess it is correct.

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

Const ForWriting = 2
UserName = InputBox("Enter Username","Enter Username")

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.

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.

View 2 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 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)
