Problem in reading attributes from AD/ED

[goodami]

HI ,

I have to find an operational attribute from Active Directoyry using VBsCript.I do not know how to get that since:

1)It needs authentication form user.So how to connect to AD using Username & Password

Below is the code:

strBase = ";"

strFilter = "(uid=test amit);"

strAttrs = "adspath;"

strScope = "subtree"

Set directoryConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

directoryConn.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"

directoryConn.Open "Active Directory Provider"

Set objRS = directoryConn.Execute(strBase & strFilter & strAttrs & strScope)

Dim objUser

While Not objRS.EOF

Set objUser = GetObject(objRS.Fields("adspath").Value)

objUser.GetInfo

objUser.Get("uid")

strEx = objUser.Get("cn")

MsgBox strEx

strADSPath = objRS.Fields("adspath").Value

MsgBox strADSPath

objRS.MoveNext

Wend

directoryConn.close

Dim directoryConn1

Dim objRS1

Dim dn

dn = "uid=" & objUser.Get("uid") & ",ou=people,dc=abc,dc=com"

MsgBox dn

'

'Set dso = GetObject("LDAP:")

'Set tmpUser = dso.OpenDSObject( strADSPath,"test amit","1234",1)

'tmpUser.GetInfoEx Array("passwordexpirationtime"), 0

'MsgBox tmpUser.Get("passwordexpirationtime")

Set directoryConn1 = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

directoryConn1.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"

directoryConn1.Properties("User ID") = "test amit"

directoryConn1.Properties("Password") = "1234"

directoryConn1.Properties("Encrypt Password") = "FALSE"

directoryConn1.Open "Active Directory Provider"

strAttrs = "passwordexpirationtime;"

strScope = "subtree"

Set objRS1 = directoryConn1.Execute(strBase & strFilter & strAttrs & strScope)

While Not objRS1.EOF

Set objUser1 = GetObject(objRS1.Fields("adspath").Value)

objUser1.GetInfo

strEx1 = objUser1.Get("manager")

MsgBox strEx1

strEx = objUser1.Get("passwordexpirationtime")

MsgBox strEx

objRS.MoveNext

Wend

'

'objRS1.close

'directoryConn1.Close

Running a sccript agains the AD should not require a username or pasword, are you running the script from a pc thats a member of the domain ? can you try running it on a DC ?

I have numerous scripts running collecting info and sometimes adding info to the AD and had never had problems with having to autenticate.
