On the other hand, i'm finishing the little gift package

So what happens when you run this script ?

break on

$sysinfo = createobject("adsysteminfo")
if $sysinfo
 ?"username=" $sysinfo.username
else
 ?"trouble"
endif
exit 1

Ok, after changing the admin location (and logoff/logon needed), here's the JACKPOT!!!!!
username=CN=Administrator,OU=Permanent Users,OU=Local,DC=Reseau,DC=Popov,DC=org

I let you finish this one

for information, the current AD tree is :

code:

---

Reseau.Popov.org
  |
  |--Local   (OU)
  |    |
  |    '---Permanent Users   (OU)
  |    |
  |    '---Temporary Users   (OU)
  |
  '--all the stuff, as Users directory

---

Oh, I've changed my profile, as i'm doing some cleaning and get rid of this old nickname (but i don't want to reinstall 2k server )

Would/should one combine user and computer OU enumeration into a single function or break them out into seperate functions - hmmm ?

Check-out Brians' post here

nah, damn smileys

Something else:
I can't get anything from this :
$root=Getobject("LDAP://CN="+"$Variable"+","+GetObject("LDAP://rootDSE").Get("defaultNamingContext"))
always return in @serror : "There is no such object on the server.", whatever i put in $variable (existing or not user, complete name or partial)
weird!
I'm looking in this way as i don't know if AdSystemInfo is 9x compatable (currently looking for)

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ADSystemInfo

wintendo needs to have the ADSI runtimes for Win9x installed before you can do any of this AD magic (free from MS) ...

If memory serves, when I did try to install the ADSI runtimes for NT - the ADSystemInfo object still didn't get installed properly (everything else did) ... so just a heads-up on that.

ADSystemInfo was a tough nut to crack. For some reason, it isn't documented in the ADSI SDK and I remember having to do alot of web searching and forum hunting to find it (for use in our original InOU() functions posted in the beta forum) ... I think it might be a little like the ADSecurity.dll that ships as part of the ADSI reskit - included in Windows 2K but requires special handling for NT and 9x ... not sure on that - things might have changed since then.

I've found this in the 9x file :
nwapi32.dll, ntdsapi.dll
Seems the NT only NW:// and NTDS:// are also available under 9x
And after looking in BDR, HKClassRoot\AdSystemInfo is bind to this file : adsldp.dll
and yes, it's available in the 9x client part

I'm finishing something and i'll reboot to 98 to play with the AD client,

There have been conversions from VBscript and this may just get you going in the right direction. Check out the Sub AddMailBox section.

Have fun!
