active-directory-group

I used the example in this page to add a user to an Active Directory group, but I get an exception with the message "Server is unwilling to process the request" when executing dirEntry.Properties["member"].Add(userDn); I had a similar issue where I was trying to add a member to a group. Specifically trying to add a group to a group and getting the same helpful error 'The server is unwilling to process the request' The answer provided by the OP did not work for me. For me, the reason I was unable to add a group to my group was because the group I was trying to add members to was a 'global'

I try to authenticate users belonging to remote ActiveDirectory from my machine, which is not the same domain as the current machine or user domain. There will be no trust between my machine and remote ActiveDirectory machine. Initial Try I tried to authenticate a user(Input: sAMAccountName, machine's ipaddress, machine's domain username("Administrator") and machine's password(***).

I have two domains, in a trusted relationship, that I'm trying to manage from a C# web application. To do that, I have to impersonate two different technical users, but that works good, so I will not emphasize that part of the code. To build proper and easy to manage ACLs for the file system, I must Create a group in domainA (OK!) Find a user in domainB (OK!) Add the user to the group (FAILS when committing changes, error message: There is no such object on the server. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80072030) ) If I'm adding a user from the same domain, the code works perfectly, so I believe I'm

I have a csv with 2 columns, one column is AD group names and one is user account names. I am trying to read the csv and import the users into their corresponding group. Here is what i have to so far. It's saying both arguments(identity,member) are null, which makes no sense since the headers are correctly specified. import-module activedirectory $list = import-csv "C:\Scripts\Import Bulk Users into bulk groups\bulkgroups3.csv" Foreach($user in $list){ add-adgroupmember -identity $_.Group -member $_.Accountname } Heres whats in the csv file Group Accountname group1 user1 group1 user2 group1

I'm trying to list everyone in a security group in an active directory without using CmdLets in PowerShell. The weird thing with my script is that it works if I list the entire directory but if I try and specify with an ldap query what I want to be listed it does not work. I know my ldap query is correct because I have used it in another similar vbs and it works. The commented lines are where i have tried to put in the query. $strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))" #$strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(memberOf=CN=Common Name,OU=User Groups,...,DC=ad,DC

There are a couple of questions similar to this on stack overflow but not quite the same. I want to open, or create, a local group on a win xp computer and add members to it, domain, local and well known accounts. I also want to check whether a user is already a member so that I don't add the same account twice, and presumably get an exception. So far I started using the DirectoryEntry object with the WinNT:// provider. This is going ok but I'm stuck on how to get a list of members of a group? Anyone know how to do this? Or provide a better solution than using DirectoryEntry? Kepboy Okay, it's
