Jose Jose Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2001-04-04 Posts: 693 Loc: Buenos Aires - Argentina	Hi Korg. Roundabout today eh? I would like to know if there is a way of getting all groups into an array. I searched and found that GetGroups() retrieves the group of an account. I need select * from groups. Thanks very much in advance. _________________________ Life is fine.

Something aolong the line of $oAccount=getobject("WinNT://$Domain,group") _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Jose Jose Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2001-04-04 Posts: 693 Loc: Buenos Aires - Argentina	Thanks for the answer. Sorry boys i dont have the skill for making it work. I´ll study it a little more so as to undertand it better when I have an answer I meet you in the same place at the same channel. By now I solved the problem by hand. Thanks very much indeed. _________________________ Life is fine.

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	Sorry for the late code sample. But the groups are in an array of sorts in the sample below. Additional code can actually add select items into a KiXtart array if you like. $object = GetObject("WinNT://dss_test,domain") $object.filter = "group","" For Each $group In $object $name = $group.Name $type = $group.groupType Select case $type & 2 $typename = " - Global Group" case $type & 4 $typename = " - Local Group" case 1 $typename = " - Unknown Type( " + $type + " )" Endselect ? $name + " " + $typename Next [ 04.

Jose Jose Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2001-04-04 Posts: 693 Loc: Buenos Aires - Argentina	Thanks very much Howard. I ended using this part of your script. My intention was to fill a combo with that info. Now i can make a function no? code: Function ThanksToHowardTheComboIsFull() $object = GetObject("WinNT://$domain,domain" $object.filter = "group","" For Each $group In $object $name = $group.Name $ComboGroup.ADDITEM("$name") Next Endfunction Do u think this could join the UDF section? _________________________ Life is fine.

The code examples so far will not work with Universal Groups from the Active Directory. I can probably show you some if you need them. [ 04. February 2003, 06:23: Message edited by: NTDOC ]

Howard Bullock Howard Bullock KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-09-15 Posts: 5809 Loc: Harrisburg, PA USA	You can add: case $type & 8 $typename = " - Universal Group" for universal groups. Although I don't have any Universal group to test, I do not see why the Winnt:// provider would not return them. If not then you will have to switch to the LDAP:// provider. The groupType code still will work. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Jose Jose Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2001-04-04 Posts: 693 Loc: Buenos Aires - Argentina	Here i go again. Thanks for the replies boys. I am using Nt NTDOC. I know this is not very typical or common but my idea was to bring array groups to a combo and onClick() show the users in another combo. I will apply it to choose a group, then choose a user, then send message or whatever. This works so far it might not look tidy but does. Surely there is an easy way, I dont know. code: ;bring the array containing all the groups and load it into the combo $object = GetObject("WinNT://$dominio,domain") $object.filter = "group","" For Each $group In $object $name = $group.Name $ComboGrupo.ADDITEM("$name") Next ;load the user combo according to the group chosen Function ComboGrupo_Click() $ComboUsuario.CLEAR $GroupSelected=$ComboGrupo.TEXT $members = groupmembers("$domain","$GroupSelected") For Each $ITEM IN $members $ComboUsuario.ADDITEM("$ITEM") Next EndFunction Thanks very much for the answer.....again [ 04.

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11631 Loc: CA	Howard, The WinNT provider did/does not understand Universal Groups. In this case not an issue as Jose says he is running NT 4.0 However, if you perform IF INGROUP calls to a Universal group using WinNT provider information your call will always fail, as it can not get that information. I can't find the link, but Microsoft does have a good page that shows the commands that can be used by WinNT and those they require LDAP calls. Another example is that you can add a user to a group with WinNT provider, but I don't think you can do an IsMember I've not done a lot of testing with this yet, but preliminary testing I've done comes back invalid. i.e. always returns TRUE even if it is FALSE.
