Richie19Rich77 Richie19Rich77 Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2002-08-16 Posts: 624 Loc: London, England	Hi Me again !!. I can change all properties on AD apart from the CN name, this is the name displayed withing the AD Tree. This is the code I am doing which works for everything else. code: $ADSUser.Put ("cn", $DisplayName) The $displayname works fine for the Display Name, and I want the CN to be the same. I have tried this using LDAP and WinNT connectors, have looked through the ADSI help file which I have been using for all the other properties and nothing. Any clues ???. Thanks

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	code: $ADSUser.Put('cn', $DisplayName) $ADSUser.SetInfo doesn't work? I also couldn't find any examples using the PU CN combination, either. BTW, Richard, these type of questions should rather be posted in the COM Forum, or maybe the Scripts Forum, as these are definitely not 'Starters' questions. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Not sure if it works or not...just a thought. [ 12. April 2003, 17:14: Message edited by: Howard Bullock ] _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Thanks code: $adsuser = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Admin Users,OU=QEH Users,DC=qeh-tr,DC=sthames,DC=nhs,DC=uk") $ADSUser.MoveHere("LDAP://CN=Richard Farthing,OU=Admin Users,OU=QEH Users,DC=qeh-tr,DC=sthames,DC=nhs,DC=uk", "CN=Mr Farthing") Rich

Richie19Rich77 Richie19Rich77 Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2002-08-16 Posts: 624 Loc: London, England	Just gone back to this old post, and My code is wrong. I have just worked out why this goes wrong, for some reason you have to hide the return of the .MoveHere command otherwise you will get an error. It will work but your script will drop out, just put $= before it. I think this has been spoken about before with KiX and com objects. It took me ages to work out what was happening . Hope this will help someone in the future. Code: $ADSUser = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Users,DC=qeh-tr,DC=sthames,DC=nhs,DC=uk") $=$ADSUser.MoveHere("LDAP://CN=HelpMe,OU=Users,DC=qeh-tr,DC=sthames,DC=nhs,DC=uk","CN=Testing")
