script to clear mapped drives in AD

[Seaspray0]

I need a script to clear the drive mapping under the profile tab for all users "connect x to ..." I do not need either a home folder or a drive mapping here.

I've used LDP.EXE to examine the properties, I'll post the clips of the section in question.

What I need is:

1> codePage: 0;
1> countryCode: 840;
1> badPasswordTime: 3/15/2006 13:9:12 Central Standard Time Central Daylight Time;
1> lastLogoff: 0;

What I have:

1> codePage: 0;
1> countryCode: 840;
1> homeDirectory: \\fileserver\share;
1> homeDrive: H:;
1> badPasswordTime: 3/15/2006 13:9:12 Central Standard Time Central Daylight Time;
1> lastLogoff: 0;

I need a script to clear the "homeDirectory" and "homeDrive" elements from the user profile. I've already tried:

Set objUser = GetObject _
("LDAP://CN=TestUser,OU=My Users,OU=My Company,DC=mydomain,DC=com")

objUser.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR, "homeDirectory", 0
objUser.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR, "homeDrive", 0
objUser.SetInfo

No luck.

Try this:

objUser.Put "homeDirectory", ""
objUser.Put "homeDrive", ""
objUser.SetInfo


I hope you find this post helpful.

I gave it a try and no luck, mark. I can set it easily with a script, but I can't get it to erase.

Have you defined the constant ads_property_clear (1) explicitly somewhere?
[tt]
[green]const ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR=1[/green]
'etc...
objUser.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR, "homeDirectory", [red]""[/red]
objUser.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR, "homeDrive", [red]""[/red]
objUser.SetInfo
[/tt]

That got it, tsuji.

'Clear the homedrive mapping for TestUser
const ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR=1
Set objUser = GetObject _
("LDAP://CN=TestUser,OU=My Users,OU=My Company,DC=mydomain,DC=com")
objUser.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR, "homeDrive", ""
objUser.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR, "homeDirectory", ""
objUser.SetInfo

All I have to do now is expand it to do all the users. I'm digging through the scriptcenter.exe as well as looking elsewhere here.
