Creating a User, a Group, and an OU

 

Demonstration script that: 1) creates a new Active Directory organizational unit; 2) creates a new user account and new security group; and, 3) adds the new user as a member of that security group.

Set objDomain = GetObject("LDAP://dc=fabrikam,dc=com") Set objOU = objDomain.Create("organizationalUnit", "ou=Management") objOU.SetInfo   Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Management,dc=fabrikam,dc=com") Set objUser = objOU.Create("User", "cn= AckermanPilar") objUser.Put "sAMAccountName", "AckermanPila" objUser.SetInfo   Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Management,dc=fabrikam,dc=com") Set objGroup = objOU.Create("Group", "cn=atl-users") objGroup.Put "sAMAccountName", "atl-users" objGroup.SetInfo   objGroup.Add objUser.ADSPath

Determining When an Account Expires


Returns the expiration date for a user account.
On Error Resume Next Set objUser = GetObject _   ("LDAP://cn=myerken,ou=management,dc=fabrikam,dc=com")   dtmAccountExpiration = objUser.AccountExpirationDate    If err.number = -2147467259 Or _  dtmAccountExpiration = "1/1/1970" Then   WScript.echo "No account expiration specified" Else   WScript.echo "Account expiration:" & _     objUser.AccountExpirationDate End If

Determining When a Password Expires
 
Determines the date when a user password will expire.
Const SEC_IN_DAY = 86400 Const ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD = &h10000   Set objUserLDAP = GetObject _   ("LDAP://CN=myerken,OU=management,DC=fabrikam,DC=com") intCurrentValue = objUserLDAP.Get("userAccountControl")   If intCurrentValue and ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD Then   wscript.echo "The password does not expire." Else   dtmValue = objUserLDAP.PasswordLastChanged    Wscript.echo "The password was last changed on " & _   DateValue(dtmValue) & " at " & TimeValue(dtmValue) & VbCrLf & _   "The difference between when the password was last set" & VbCrLf & _   "and today is " & int(now - dtmValue) & " days"   intTimeInterval = int(now - dtmValue)      Set objDomainNT = GetObject("WinNT://fabrikam")   intMaxPwdAge = objDomainNT.Get("MaxPasswordAge")   If intMaxPwdAge < 0 Then     WScript.Echo "The Maximum Password Age is set to 0 in the " & _       "domain. Therefore, the password does not expire."   Else     intMaxPwdAge = (intMaxPwdAge/SEC_IN_DAY)     Wscript.echo "The maximum password age is " & intMaxPwdAge & " days"     If intTimeInterval >= intMaxPwdAge Then       Wscript.echo "The password has expired."     Else       Wscript.echo "The password will expire on " & _       DateValue(dtmValue + intMaxPwdAge) & " (" & _       int((dtmValue + intMaxPwdAge) - now) & " days from today" & ")."     End If   End If End If

Determining When a Password was Last Set


Identifies the last time a user password was set.
Set objUser = GetObject _     ("LDAP://CN=myerken,OU=management,DC=Fabrikam,DC=com") dtmValue = objUser.PasswordLastChanged WScript.echo "pwdLastSet is: " & dtmValue

Determining User Account Status


Identifies whether a user account is enabled or disabled.
Set objUser = GetObject _   ("LDAP://cn=myerken,ou=management,dc=fabrikam,dc=com")   If objUser.AccountDisabled = FALSE Then       WScript.Echo "The account is enabled." Else       WScript.Echo "The account is disabled." End If

Determining When a User Account Expires


Reports the date that the MyerKen Active Directory user account expires.
On Error Resume Next Set objUser = GetObject _     ("LDAP://cn=MyerKen,ou=Management,dc=NA,dc=fabrikam,dc=com") dtmAccountExpiration = objUser.AccountExpirationDate    If Err.Number = -2147467259 Or dtmAccountExpiration = "1/1/1970" Then     WScript.Echo "No account expiration specified" Else     WScript.Echo "Account expiration: " & objUser.AccountExpirationDate End If

Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://ou=sales,dc=na,dc=fabrikam,dc=com") objOU.MoveHere _     "LDAP://cn=BarrAdam,OU=hr,dc=na,dc=fabrikam,dc=com", vbNullString

Requiring a Password Change


Forces a user to change their password the next time they logon.
Set objUser = GetObject _     ("LDAP://CN=myerken,OU=management,DC=Fabrikam,DC=com") objUser.Put "pwdLastSet", 0 objUser.SetInfo

Retrieving User Account Account Properties

 On Error Resume Next Set objUser = GetObject _   ("LDAP://cn=myerken,ou=management,dc=fabrikam,dc=com") objUser.GetInfo   strUserPrincipalName = objUser.Get("userPrincipalName") strSAMAccountName = objUser.Get("sAMAccountName") strUserWorkstations = objUser.Get("userWorkstations")   Set objDomain = GetObject("LDAP://dc=fabrikam,dc=com") objDomain.GetInfoEx Array("dc"), 0 strDC = objDomain.Get("dc")   WScript.echo "userPrincipalName: " & strUserPrincipalName WScript.echo "sAMAccountName: " & strSAMAccountName WScript.echo "UserWorkstations: " & strUserWorkstations WScript.echo "dc: " & strDC
