Hello,

Ive been searching the forums a couple of hours now but I havent found an answer to my question so here goes.

lets say I have this:
if not InContainer('OU=Servers,OU=Machines,DC=ORG', 'Computer')[0]

Does that mean that it should look in my AD for an OU named Servers and then look for an OU inside that called Machines?

So that the AD would look like in this example:

ORG
-Machines(OU)
-Servers(OU)

And ofcause the last parametre states that we are looking for an Computer.

Did I get this right?

Btw Im converting some Desktop Authority to Kix scripts and is there a list of what the different validations are? Ie. /W=FOO (For adding network printers)

Thanks in advance.

I think it's the other way around. Look at how TranslateName() returns the DN.
Your DC= is incomplete.

lets say i have


FOO.ORG
----Department(UO)
--------Department Users(UO)

Then to check if the user is in the Department Users UO I would do this:

InContainer('OU=Department Users,OU=Department,DC=FOO,DC=ORG', 'Computer')[0]

Is this correct?

How would the check be if I wanted to check if the user or machine that is logging in is in that UO?

Thanks in advance

Take Chris' ADSI Browser out for a spin and see what DN it returns.

KiXforms is a very nice program to have and I would not be worried about installing it. I too am working at home and had no problem to run it over a 26.4 dialup line.

If InContainer is not working for you, you either have your DN wrong, are using the wrong version of KiX, missing ADSI components, or missing the TranslateName() UDF that is a dependency.

Since you are obfuscating the details, it is hard to know if you got the parms correct. I mean, in your first example, your DC was just ORG, and now it is FOO.ORG so as long as you feed us bogus info, we cannot hazard a guess.

Why not just VPN in and test?

NO, not the domain controller.

DC is the domain.tld as in:
...,DC=domain,DC=tld
