Hi,

Name is actually a property method that returns the Relative Distinguished
Name (RDN) of the object. For user objects, this is the "cn" (Common Name)
attribute, with "cn=" appended. Thus, it returns the first part of the
distinguishedName.

I believe your vmoj variable will be in the form "cn=jsmith", so "cn=" is
repeated. Try:

Set newobj = oTargetOU.MoveHere("LDAP://"; & vmoj & "," & strTargetOU, "cn="
& vFullName)

Or, you can use the distinguishedName attribute of the user object. For
example:

Set newobj = oTargetOU.MoveHere("LDAP://"; & usr.distinguishedName, "cn=" &
vFullName)
