Re: AD/ADAM Create User (VB.Net)

Hello Joe:

Thanks for the response. The values I used for the

strUser = "CN=lastname , firstname"
userPrincipalName = "tuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
displayName = "lastname , firstname"

The objADAM a DirectoryEntry object. How do I know what schema is being
used? I'm confused about Active Directory and ADAM - they appear to be
interchangable terms yet with what I've read thus far there is a slight
difference. The target servers are Win 2003, developement box is WinXP Pro. I
installed ADAM adsiedit but I can't find the GAL entries.

When I look at the GAL via outlook, the far right column (Email) of the
address book shows the hierachy of the contact entry. An example,
/o=SIS/ou=First Group/cn=Recipients/cn=1test.

So while I'm in ADAM adsiedit I specify cn=Recipients and expect to get a
listing of the entries under that cn. In stead when I enter cn=Recipients
ADAm tool errors with "subref missing". Sorry for the off-topic ADAM issue
but I was hoping that a tool could provide me with some insight to the
AD/ADAM. I'm going to buy your book today. I did use the code fragments to
create a user for what I have now but I'm lacking the basic AD/ADAM knowledge.

Thanks again,
-Will

You might like ch 10 of our book to help with some of this stuff. It is
free from the website in my sig. There is also free VB.NET code on the site
from the book.

There are also a few ADAM specific things to do here. You need to specific
the application partition NC Name in your binding string in order for LDAP
to know where in ADAM to put the user:

LDAP://adamdnsname/OU=Users,O=myadampartition

(or whatever you created there)

Also, what is the value of strUser in the code below? It needs to be in
"RDN" format, ie "cn=someuser", assuming that you are creating an object
with the ADAM user schema and not something else.
