Hi Alex

Thanks for response. The code for the script is almost the same as in the sample above. Below you'll find the full code:
code:
 
$MyOU = getobject("LDAP://OU=TestJK,DC=area,DC=company,DC=com")

IF NOT $MyOU = 0					;check the connection

	$UserObj = $MyOU.Create("user", "TestJK")	;create the new account
	IF NOT $UserObj = 0				;check whether the account has created
		$UserObj.CN = "TestJK"			
		$UserObj.SamAccountName = "TestJK"
		$UserObj.UPN = "TestJK@gmaare.migros.com"
		$UserObj.Password = "TestJK"
		$UserObj.SetInfo			;save the changes
		? @ERROR
		? @SERROR
		? $UserObj.CN
	ELSE
		? @ERROR
		? @SERROR
	ENDIF
		
ELSE
	? @ERROR
	? @SERROR

ENDIF
I am testing on XP Workstation and I am logged in as Domain Administratior. When I try to do the same with the WinNT:// provider, I get the user created, however, just on the local machine. I guess that there must be a security problem with LDAP:// so I am not sure whether I have to provide a separat user and password. Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Jörg
