I want to query ACTIVE DIRECTORY for a particular user.

 

I am creating a login and I want to make sure they are in the active directory.

 

Can I get all the domains they are active in?  

 

 

 

Autoscript Option, doesn't appear

Hi, Dawn -

You've asked a very general, wide-open type of question. Would you mind providing a little more context about what you want to do?

Are you creating a database login? network login? from a PB application? from a command prompt or PowerShell? Is this for you to use? A network/system/DB admin?

I'll be the first to admit that I can't even spell Active Directory (oh, wait, I guess I can...), but I'm reasonably sure that you can't create a login or query other domains without the proper rights/permissions. In this day and age, there are security-related implications for these types of actions.

Regards, John

Hi, I want to call a function from within PB to check if a User has a valid user id in Active Directory.

If they do, I want to create a database login.



I use: advapi32.dll >> GetUserNameW to get the user id, while they are logging in.

But I want a function that can check if a user id exists before it creates their DB login.

Hi Dawn;

My STD Framework has all the AD interaction capabilities built in. Here is a presentation that I gave at a PB conference that explains how it works...
