This script has nothign to do with login script. It's a one-time-only script. It will set the login script for all users in OU=Test. Thus set the login script to soemthign and check after running the script whether it has changed. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

In general, it does look okay to me. Also, it's always good to first test a script before letting it out into the wild.

You must run it under an account that has aD amdin privileges. Also, change the code to:

code:

Break ON
; uncomment the next lien to step through the code
; DEBUG ON
; Example of LDAP call.  GetObject("LDAP://ou=Users,ou=YourBusinessUnit,dc=YourCompany,dc=com")
; You need to know your LDAP connection.  You can maybe find it by checking the propery details on the OU for your users.
$target = GetObject("LDAP://ou=Users,ou=Test,dc=sussexcounty,dc=net")
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
$loginscript="logon.bat"
For Each $user in $target
  If $user.loginscript <> $loginscript
    ? "Current Script for " +$user.name " is: " +$user.loginscript+ " Should be: " +$loginscript
;    $user.loginscript=$loginscript  ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat. 
     ? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
;    $user.SetInfo    ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat. 
     ? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
     ? "Changed current Script for " +$user.name " to: " +$user.loginscript
  EndIf
Next

to provide mote insight into what's happening.

code:

Break ON

; You need to know your LDAP connection.  You can maybe find it by checking the propery details on the OU for your users.
$target = GetObject("LDAP://ou=Users,ou=Test,dc=sussexcounty,dc=net")
$loginscript="logon.bat"
For Each $user in $target
  If $user.loginscript <> "$loginscript" 
    ? "Current Script for " +$user.name " is: " +$user.loginscript+ " Should be: " +$loginscript

;    $user.SetInfo    ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat. 
  EndIf
Next

Do I need the Users and Test OU's listed?

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	You can use the TranslateName() UDF and a @ldomain\@userid to return the distinguished name. From that you simply remove the CN=userid, and have the DN for the OU. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11164 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Use TranslateName() and post the string you get. I'm sure we can then tell you what parts you need to write where. Take a look at the FAQ Forum if you want to know 'How To Use UDFs'. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	The use of the TranslateName UDF would be just to get the DN of one of your users since it appears that based on a previous post you could not find the user's OU. Use this example: code: $DN = TranslateName (3, "", 3, "@LDomain\@userid", 1) ? "DN = " + $DN[0] ? "Error = " + $DN[1] ? "ErrorText = " + $DN[2] _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

What was the script use executed? Have you tried the WinNT:// provider? _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

DJ Ballistic DJ Ballistic Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2003-02-21 Posts: 185	I am running this script from the Kixscript Editor. Should I be running this from a batch file? If so what needs to go in it. I have tried creating a ldap.bat that has Kix32.exe ldap.kix and it doesn't run, it says unable to find/open script. Man this is confusing. I thought this was easier.

You also seem to have only minimal administrative experience which also doesn't help. Create a folder and put the KiXtart executable and the script into it. Edit the script in Notepad. open a command prompt and switch into the directory that contains your script and the Kixtart executable. Run the script by typing 'kix32 ldap.kix' at the command prompt. Also, please post the script you're using (in between [CODE] tags). _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
