View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how this can be done? The problem is that when you run the script to add a domain user to the local group as a local user you have no permissions to query the domain. Is there a way to pass a user name and password when doing this? [code]...

View 4 Repliesto 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 have bunch of users in one of the Active Directory Group. I am adding users from one of my Sql Server table. I want to compare the Active Directory group users with my sql table users and add the users to that group only if they don't exists in that group.
Here is the code I am adding to the AD Group from sql table.
Public Sub adUserToGroup()
Dim sDomainName As String = ("LDAP:servername.fte.fcteg.com")
Dim adUserFolder As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP:Servername.fce.findoe.com/DC=fte,DC=foxeg,DC=com")

I am trying to develop a tool to add users to the appropriate AD security group for their department (so that they have the right access to their network folders)I have a list of departments (e.g. A1, A2, A3, B4, Sec, DirGen) and there are 3 AD groups per department. One for Managers, one for secretaries and one for normal users. Each group grants different levels of access on the network folders.
So, I'm trying to decide the best method of presenting this data to the user (and, in turn, storing it in my application).At the moment, I have a Combobox for the department (with a fixed list of items) and a combobox for the user type (e.g. Manager, Secretary, User). Once these comboboxes are selected I populate a CheckedListBox with the relevant AD groups names.

I need my program to add all users selected in a checkedlist box to the local administrators group.I will be logged in as a domain admin when doing this , if soeone tries to run this without permissions it should prompt them for domain admin creds[code]...
View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 1 RepliesI 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.

The controller is taking the query object as is and putting it into the viewdata.model and as stated the view is not currently strongly typed as I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. I have run the query successfully in linqpad.
I am trying to develop a recipe manager that allows a user to create a shopping list. I've already determined that I want to use a list view for this job. I want to be able to group the items in the shopping list by the appropriate grocery aisle (i.e. Dairy, Bread, Canned Goods, etc.) I'm not sure how to assign the items to the appropriate group as the user selects each item.
I haven't started actually building the application yet as i'm still in the development stage, but i have been testing the list view out to figure out how it works. i've figured out how to add items. i just don't know how to specify the group that each item should belong to.

So I currently have the following:
2 timers
2 labels
1st label is "Clock" this pulls the time from the users current time zone/local time
2nd label is "UTCClock" Which would be UTC time
Now I have this for the first label: clock.Text = Format(TimeOfDay, "hh:mm:ss tt")
Which would give the users current time zone/local time. As for the UTC.. how would I add in for the UTC time from where the user is located at? I did some searches.. but couldnt find what I was looking for.. IM pretty sure its not as easy as getting the users current time zone/local time.. So im assuming that Theres a "bit more" code into getting UTC time..
I'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?
