ebiard ebiard Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-03-13 Posts: 14	I don't manage to clear a property. I always get an error back when .SetInfo is done. Thanks.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	ebiard, I can only guess here : .SetInfo .... Have you assigned the Property set to a variable ? Unless you do so you may get Idispatch Pointers not allowed errors (or similar) So try (pseudo-code!): code: $whatever = $Object.SetInfo or even: code: $object.SetInfo. hth [ 31.

For Each $User in $AD $User.cramBac=$Bac ... $User.SetInfo ?@SERROR ... if $Bac is empty or "", it does not work. Of course, cramBac property exists for the object.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	hmmmm ... If I translate the com error with Chris' fnCOMErr() it returns quote: 9 - The storage control block address is invalid. think it's time to show the complete script(or at least a supposed to work snippet) [ 31.

ebiard ebiard Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-03-13 Posts: 14	Works fine with WinNT provider ! Why not with the LDAP provider ? It would have been easier for me (got to directly point a specific OU). Thanks.

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	TBH, I am totally out of the loop, not only that I won't even get any chance to test on LDAP (Win Nt environment here) but also the only thing I can actually generate with WINNT provider is 'Invalid class string' I feel like a complete 1D10T _________________________

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	ok, bypassed my DOH-mode and used getobject instead of createobject break on $obj = getobject("WinNT://SomeDomain") $obj.Filter = "User","" for each $usr in $obj if $usr.Name = "whatever" $usr.Fullname = "John Doe" $usr.SetInfo endif next ... does work of course Still I can't exactly tell why this won't work with the LDAP provider Anyone ?

ebiard ebiard Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-03-13 Posts: 14	Well... Seems that i really need to make it work with the LDAP provider because : I need to change properties (and also clear them) that are not system based. These were implemented with a schema extension of the user class. And... These kind of properties are not seen with the WinNT provider... AFTER SOME TESTING (on the same object) : - WINNT : ok to view, fill or empty any system based property. but cannot address extented-schema based properties. - LDAP : ok to view or fill any type of property. but cannot empty any. Thanks for your help (maybe i missed something ?).

ebiard ebiard Fresh Scripter Registered: 2003-03-13 Posts: 14	FOUND IT! It works when using the PutEx method (see msdn-PutEx) like : code: $<object>.PutEx(1,<property>,"") $<object>.SetInfo 1 is for "ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR". Thanks again for your help.
