New Post: What access

GQB — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 22:31:02 GMT

Since ADModify does not accept a command-line to authenticate, I assume its using my workstation security context.
Given that, my requests are finding their targets (so search is working) but I get "ADMODIFY.ERR - Access is denied" for my mods.

I am a member of the Domain Admins groups.

Is there some other authz that is expected?

New Post: delete entries in Terminal Services User Profile

Therese — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 12:15:12 GMT

I have a domain where all users have a profile path entered in Terminal Services Profile tab. Sometimes this poses a problem, and in order to troubleshoot user profiles more effectively, I want to remove all the entered profile paths on users.

I run AD modify on a 2003-machine (since it is the only way to get the TS-tab to be customizable) but now I hesitate. I want to remove all data from the "profile path" not enter data. So, what do I do now? I want to remove data, not insert.

enter data and let it propagate, and then remove it and propagate?

New Post: sort output in TreeSelect.cs

leonhedding — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 18:42:20 GMT

I just spent all day using this program. Great program, but would be even better if the ouput in TreeSelect was sorted. I needed to compare the results of a custom LDAP query against another alphabetised spreadsheet and unselect items. Was it aggravating to not have the results sorted! I have now compiled from source this program and added at line 389 of TreeSelect.cs the following statement. It makes it so much easier to review the results now!

frmADModifyTreeSelect.lstUserList.Sorted = true;

It seems that the Terminal Services part is hard coded to look for a specific version of Windows. Namely Windows Server 2003. Once I moved the files to a W2k3 box it unlocked the TS settings.

New Post: Bulk Update on Active Directory

dennistoo — Wed, 16 May 2012 03:52:39 GMT

Hi Guys,

I came across this website that allows administrator to do a bulk update on specified attributes at ease. However, i can't seems to do a bulk update to add in a prefix country code on the existing number.

After i adding a specified OU users and clicked on next, it basically did not show me the information's at all.

How can i do it?

Uhh! We upgraded our exchange server to Exchange 2010 (actually built a new one). I re-installed this program and now it says this same thing about Terminal Server Modifications being disabled again. There are no help files that I can see. I need to change 800 TS Profile paths. Does anyone know what to do now?

New Post: Limit attributes that can be modified?

knitcap — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 23:15:58 GMT

Is it possible to lock down ADModify.NET so only specific attributes are displayed and/or can be modified? Looking for a simple tool that admin assistant level folks can use to update user information (phone number, title, etc.) without being able to make major changes to the account.

Thanks in advance,

New Post: First/Last Display Name Change

sulldog — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 22:17:07 GMT

Hello.. new to ADmonify.

This Sunday i have to change all ~4000 accounts display name to Last name, First name. The tool looks pretty easy to use. Unfortunatly all of our users are scattered all over AD and i cannot moved them all to 1 OU for variose reasons. If i select the root it will populate all the names in the pane on the right but it also adds OU names, computer objects and I am sure some other AD objects. I really dont want to have to cherry pick out user accounts. My question is if i highlight all objects and perform my change will it do anything to these other objects? Or is there a better way to do this change?

Thanks

New Post: admodcmd batch script help

rcsTech — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 16:37:25 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to create a batch file for use to bulk scripting but am running into issues with getting it to work properly.

1. admodcmd -dn " OU = Users, OU=MyOU,DC=domain,DC=com " -s -custom userPrincipalName %'sAMAccountName'%@domain.com

When upn.bat is run, it set the upn field new value in AD to “@domain.com".

2. admodcmd -dn "OU = Users, OU=MyOU,DC=domain,DC=com " -s –custom displayName "%'sn'%, %'givenName'%"

When run name.bat, it sets the display name new value in AD to “ , “.

It is strange as if I open cmd.exe, copy and paste the exact line it work perfectly.

Help?

Thanks

New Post: Windows Server 2008 R2 Terminal Services Profile Tab

iamnotacoder12345 — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 20:03:43 GMT

Is there a work around or a newer build for the fact that the Terminal Services Profile Tab can’t be modified when run on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Domain Controller?

The tab is greyed out. It worked fine on a Windows Server 2003 R2 Domain Controller.

TIA

New Post: Remove Lotus Notes Address

SvenTessmann — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 09:46:05 GMT

Hi,

to remove all notes addresses, I simply did it the same way as with smtp addresses.

On the Email tab use "notes:" (without the quotes).

This will remove all notes addresses from the selected users.

The way using a custom attribute did not work in my tests.

Dantech — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 07:49:13 GMT

Just to re-affirm this. Thank you so much for bothering to post this. I ran it on exchange server and it worked. It took 6 seconds to change 1000 user accounts which had taken me four hours individually before! I love this program.

New Post: Extension Attributes

thewire — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 14:14:24 GMT

Here is what I used and it worked fine: It seems forward slashes are ok, except when coming before % signs. I had to use another forward slash to escape my %20 (space) and another forward slash to escape my forward slash before the givenName's first % sign.

https://servername/My/%20Pictures//%'givenName'%.%'sn'%.jpg = https://servername/My%20Pictures/firstname.lastname.jpg
