Hi,

I found a script to search for a userid in the AD. I modified it:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Set Connection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Connection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
Connection.Open "Active Directory Provider"

Set Command = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Command.ActiveConnection = Connection
strName = "UserName"
ADsPath = "dc=eu,dc=intra-global,dc=net" 'here I want to search eu, au,
am, ee domains
sFilter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(name=" & strName &
"))"

sAttribsToReturn = "name,distinguishedName"
' Tiefe der Suchabfrage
sDepth = "subTree"

query = "<LDAP://" & ADsPath & ">;" & sFilter & ";" & sAttribsToReturn & ";"
& sDepth
MsgBox "Abfrage: " & query
Command.CommandText = query

Set rs = Command.Execute
MsgBox rs.RecordCount & " Benutzerkonten gefunden, die """ & strName & """
entsprechen."
MsgBox rs.GetString
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

----
Our rootdomain is: dc=intra-global,dc=net
We have several subdomains: dc=eu or dc=am or dc=ee or dc=au
My userid is in the domain eu and if I start the seach for eu it is working.
If I start the search for another domain is not working. Then no user is
found. I started the script on domain controller with admin rights for each
subdomain without success.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Dirk
