New possibileity for SetOption

If you have to access an AD property where the name contains a dash, the solution in vbscript is to surround it with square brackets, but if you try this in KiXtart it will be mistaken for being an array.

Could we have ie.:

$PrevState = SetOption("IgnoereBrackets","On")

Or

$PrevState = SetOption("DisableArrays","On")

Re: New possibileity for SetOption

While not the solution you are looking for, there is a way to leverage vbscript right in kix...

Although I could not completely test this, it should get you in the right direction. You will need GetADUserProperties() to make this work:

Code:

$User=getaduserproperties() 
$sc = CreateObject("ScriptControl")
$sc.language = "VBScript"
$sc.timeout = -1
$sc.addobject('vbuser',$user)
$sc.addcode('msds=vbuser.[msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed]')
$sc.run
? $sc.codeobject.msds

I would be willing to bet there is some other type of AD query that can get this info too.

Also...did you try the method that one of the responses on your link suggests?

objUser.Get("msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed")

I have tried the Get method, it works.

But if i try changing the value using the Put method, it fails

I had not seen your way of calling VBScript before

But I managed to solve the problem using the object: ScriptControl

Thank You
