The claim is when the account is disabled in AD, their systems drop access. Then when the person comes back, they have to rebuild access from scratch. I'm bound by HR policy though (and I control AD [smile]) so they may just be out of luck. ================= There are 10 kinds of people in...

I have a question about the account lockout attribute in AD. We have a current process in place that disables users when they take a leave of absense. I'm being asked to change the process to "lockout" the user versus "disabling" the user b/c it's causing some other areas some headaches. So...

Just wondering if this is possible. Let's say you have a large quantity of AD groups sequentially named: Group-001; Group-002; Group-003........Group-100 I'd like to issue a single command to see each group and it's membership but I couldn't seem to figure out how to do it. Went on about my...

Sorry, I tried to scale back for simplicity sake, but I went too far. Table1.AccessValue would have values of: PositionTitle, Department, Division, State, Country. Any value in Table1.AccessValue would equal a field/column heading in Table2 i.e. Table2 would have Table2.PositionTitle...

I'm attempting to JOIN two tables in SQL Server 2000, but I need to pass a variable somehow from one to the other (or perhaps there is some other method I'm not aware of). Here is my current JOIN and gives me the results I currently want, but I need to expand it. SELECT e.* FROM Table1 AS e...

So I took a shot in the dark and used the following code: [code] strUserDN = "CN=username,OU=Users,DC=xyz,DC=com" Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & strUserDN) strUser = objUser.samaccountname strComps = objUser.userWorkstations WScript.Echo "User: " & strUser & vbCrLf & "Workstations: " &...

So I've run into a rather confusing issue with a script I'm writing to update userWorkstations attribute. Below is a simplified version of what I'm doing (hopefully with no typos): strUserDN = "CN=username,OU=Users,DC=xyz,DC=com" Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & strUserDN) strUser =...

I'm attempting to gather a large quantity of data from the group objects in our AD using vbScript. So far the script keeps failing on the same group object. In someone's infinite wisdom they've put a "/" character in a group's name which means the group's DN also has the "/". When I pass...

nm. I searched for the answer all day and never found it. Tried one more time after posting this and found my answer. FYI: "userWorkstations" is the attribute. ================= There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that do not.

Having some problems retrieving the logonWorkstation user attribute from Active Directory. I'm assuming the attribute I need is logonWorkstation (i.e. From ADUC, on a user's profile, it's on the Account tab, "Log On To...". Used to lock an ID down to only be able to login to specific...

Thanks. I started playing around with this and it is much easier than I originally thought. BTW, just wondering what is the difference between: set objRS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") Is the second one used with ASP? I got hung up on...

Is it possible to extract data from SQL tables into an array with VBscript? Everything I've seen online seems to deal with ASP, but I need an automated script that runs nightly against a SQL DB. A crude example of what I'm trying to do would be reading in all userID's from a SQL table with a...

Is it possible to use a CSV or text file in conjunction with a DSQUERY or a DSMOD? i.e. Let's say I have a list of user IDs in a text file and I want to check and see if each one in the file is enabled using a DS commands. I can do it in VBscript, but I'm looking for a quicker way...

Yes, that's what I meant, sorry about that. Luckily I found the disc right before I went through the process of ordering another one (for a whopping $25, I'm cheap). I'll make a note of that site though. Not sure if my predecessor setup an account or not, but would be good to have in the...

I cannot find my Windows Server 2k3 Standard (Corporate Edition) disc anywhere. Anyone know where I can download a copy? I only see the retail versions on Microsoft and I don't think my key will work with those. ================= There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those that...
