#123223 - 2004-07-19 02:58 PM Why can't I create a user in AD?
GSUK GSUK Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2004-03-10 Posts: 125	Hi there, I have spent hours trying to work out where I am going wrong here. I have searched the bulletin board and my code looks right but I still cant get it to work! All I want to do is add a user to the NEW OU off the root of AD. Here's the code: Code: CLS Break ON $adsOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=New,dc=domain,dc=com") If @ERROR<>0 ? @SERROR + " (" + @ERROR + ")" Quit 1 EndIf $adsUser = $adsOU.Create("user","cn=Test account34") $adsOU.SetInfo It doesn't flag up any errors Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions Glenn.
