Accessing ADSI Information
In the intranet system I'm building I need to draw information about Staff and integrate it into Department pages, and make it accessible via querystrings (so users can search for names). I've asked my IT department how to do this and they basically said "ask the internet"
So, if I want to access such information, where do I start? I cant find any tutorials that answer my questions, and feel a bit out of my depth regarding what I'm even meant to be asking. So basically... help! What's should be my plan of action!
I need to :
A) draw names, phone numbers, email addresses to show on relevant department pages.
B) Make a facility to search staff names to bring up similar information.

I'd like to get some user account properties using .asp script. When I try
to use ADSI WINNT provider it works fine except that I apparently cannot
access some properties such as objUser.managedObjects. I have this simple
code:
<%
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://CN=Users,CN=FisrtName
LastName,DC=MyDomain,DC=com")
For Each strValue in objUser.managedObjects
Response.Write "This: " & strValue & "<br>"
Next
%>
As a VBS script it works fine but as an ASP page I cannot get the object
initialized. Is it problem with syntax or something else? I'd like to avoid
using .NET Framework and ADO connection as well if possible. All I really
need is to get list of managedObjects.

I am working on building a tool Using ASP/COM & IIS5.1 for a
non-administrative technical support team to change domain passwords for
users. I have the basic interface built and working from my developement
machine (Windows XP Pro SP 1A) which is hosting the pages for now. The
problem is that when I try to access the site from a browser on a different
pc using my credentials (IIS is running in Windows Authentication), it
appears that the ADSI queries stop working and I get the following errors:
a.. Error Type:
(0x8007200A)
/ASP_TEST.ASP, line 64
which corresponds with a code that queries Active Directory for a particular
OU to return the users within that OU.
I am a newbie to ASP developement so maybe I am missing something really
trivial, like can I even accomplish this task in this manner?

we are developing an intranet application(web based)which needs to detect the logged in user ID of the user hitting the website.the intranet is huge and based on win2k active directory(around 20-30 different domains)with 25K+ users.i dont want to use "NT challenge response" for this pupose.
I am exploring ways using ADSI and WMI to query the Active directory by using the IP address in the incoming web request and trying to figure out the user ID logged into that machine how is it possible?

I have found some code that authenticates users agains a domain using ADSI.
I then redirect to another page and pass the username they have entered as a
string. However, it would be nice to also get their full name from Active
Directory once authenticated. Can anyone suggest how I may modify this code
to achieve this? I would also like to pass their full name to the next page
as a string. The code I found: Code:

I know this isn't the best group to ask this in - but I also know a lot of
you have experience with this kind of stuff
I'm going to be creating a site where customers will be able to set up their
own sub-site (ie. www.mysite.com/theirsubsite). I'll need to be able to
create virtual directories on-the-fly, so I plan on using ADSI to accomplish
this. My question is - what are my options when it comes to permissions?
Will I need to give the IUSR account admin permissions to create these
directories, or is there some way to impersonate an admin account on the
script creating the directories? Has anyone dealt with this before?

I use the following ASP code to access Active Directory's property:
Dim objUser
Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://myDomain/UserId")
I can get objUser.FullName. But when I try to get objUser.Division, there
occurs an error. Can you tell me how to get objUser.Division?

Has anyone ever experienced any problems authenticating with an ADSI application where after so long it stops responding. I can not track down what is causing the problem. I have a login page that uses the following code. This is running on a windows 2003 domain controller currently. If I put it on a windows 2000 member server I get this error way more often.
Dim oADsObject
Set oADsObject = GetObject(strADsPath)
Dim strADsNamespace
Dim oADsNamespace
strADsNamespace = left(strADsPath, instr(strADsPath, ":"))
set oADsNamespace = GetObject(strADsNamespace)
Set oADsObject = oADsNamespace.OpenDSObject(strADsPath, strUserName, strPassword, 1)
It authenticates fine, but after so long the login page stops working. If I restart the application pool the page starts to work again. I have a volume of about 500-700 users authenticated at any given time. Should I be authenticating a different way?

how (or if it's even possible) to cache the results of an ADSI call in asp for a longer period of time. Basically what I am doing is I have a website that loads the 'full
name' of the user that logs into it. Once the user full nam ehas been retreived (using adsi) the user can reload the page and it appears to just check a cached version of the request (since the page loads very fast).
If however the user waits a bit longer (maybe 5 min) and reloads the page it will take upto 4 secs to load the page (since the adsi call is being resubmitted). Is there anyway to increase the length of time that adsi info is cached?

First the brief: I'm currently developing an intranet at work. We have approximately 3000 users and they keep forgetting their passwords. We have 3 Tech-Support guys who keep having to reset them. The idea was to build a function in to the intranet to allow department heads to be able to reset other users passwords via asp.
All well and good. After a fair bit of reading, I've acquainted myself with the basics of talking to Active Directory and retrieving various objects, properties and values.
My problem is that when I try to update any of the objects (i'm focusing on the .description property at the moment 'cos when I break it - that's not gonna matter so much) But when I try and SetInfo, I get a General Access Error. My ServerVariables("LOGON_NAME") is empty. I was wondering if there was a way to force an asp page to run as the server administrator 'cos obviously when department heads login, we don't want all of them to be AD Admins. All they should be able to do is run my script to reset a password.
I'm not actually the server admin, and don't really know the specifics of IIS, but can I just tell it to run specific scripts as domainadmin? Or can I pass something in the asp headers to force it to authenticate as admin?

I have a script that I have set up to display users and their account status in an asp page, using adsi, then the web viewer can enable and disable accounts using this page. The problem I have is the anonymous user that IIS logs in with does not have the privileges to change accounts etc for active directory.
So, I made my server into an SSL server and made it ask for credentials using basic authentication. All works well for administrator as when the admin username and password are used, the script then runs with admin rights.
(as this is only a test server I can mess with all security etc before wrecking the real server!!) I delegated control to an OU that I wish to control with ASP and went and logged in as one of the users that was delegated control, but that says the script does not have the rights.
So, in effect, the script will not work unless I put in the admin username and passwords. I even delegated control to one user rather than a group but that still don't work. Any ideas please? Is it IIS, AD or ASP that is at fault?

I'd like to be able to list IIS websites and information in a web page

My users logon to the Patriot domain, my intranet is on sdsddata01 server. I have a form that people have to click on a dropdown list to pick their name from the list when submitting a form. Is there any way to grab their username via ADSI so I can query it against a database that will get submitted against a form.
I have seen a few arcticles regarding this but I couldn't make sense of them. They are already authenticating when they login, so I don't want them to have to do it again once they hit the intranet. Is this possible using ADSI? Will I have to make some permission changes in IIS as well?

I have a set of web pages on an AD-authenticated web site that are

I am looking at the ability for a user on my website to add/remove/edit windows user accounts, thus controlling access to my website. I have integrated windows authentication checked on the website and unchecked anon access in IIS, so I am always asked for a username and password.
I have seen some ADSI scripts that I can use in my ASP pages to manipulate local user accounts. However, when I try and use these they dont work as I need to have admin rights. Of course I don't wish to add the user to the admin group for security reasons....
Anyone have a code snippet to do this?

I have written an ASP.NET 2.0 application that uses Active Directory or ADAM
to manage account users - the site has a page that allows people to create an
account (much like any site). The page populates the AD with all the
information and the user account but I am unable to enable the account.
Microsoft has information on how to do that here -->
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ting_a_user.asp
(the sample is for Visual Basic) - and I am unable to complete the bottom
portion of the script. Can some one point me in the right direction - or can
you tell me how I can add a snippet of VBscript code to an ASP.NET page.
I am using the Active DS Type library - not sure why there are multiple ones
(System.DirectoryServices) but it is rather confusing - I seem to accomplish
one thing with one and another with the other (they did have trouble
co-existing however). Anyway my script works very well but I am not able to
access the properties required to enable the account.
Here is a simple version (no error checking) of the code.....

if it was possible using asp to access a textbox value from the parent page in a popup page.The popup page is asp therefore the statement which tries to access the value from the parent page must be asp code (so no javascript functions can be used to access it).
I have tried several attempts at gaining the value such as:
<%
theTxtValue = request("opener.document.system.txtbox1.value")
%>
But none of my combinations seem to work,can anybody clarify if what I am trying to achieve is actually possible?

I have a database page with a table. I am using ASP and MSSQL on a Windows 2003 machine.
When I get the database information displayed in the table, I have something like the following:
<table>

</tr>
</table>
The table has a total of 167 row that would be divided into five categories.
How can i get the above table to show:

I know that when I send a request for an ASP script to the server, IIS gets the script, interprets the ASP and then basically spews out a load of HTML to my browser (over simplified I know). Hence the reason why when I look at the source code in IE all I see is HTML and no ASP.My question is this: Is it possible to get this source code as a string somehow to then further manipulate with ASP in a second page?
Surely there must be a way?

As luck would have it I've landed a client whose site relies on ASP and what I can only assume is an MS Access database. ASP is definitely not the language of my choice but I'm stuck with having to learn the basics for what I'm required to do.
Basically the database is located in the folder /fpdb/ and is called vsproducts.mdb. It was actually installed by the off-the-shelf shopping cart/catalogue script that is being used by the site's owner. I need to be able to access and display on a page some data found in this database. Is this easy? I have next to no knowledge of ASP so please keep things as simple as possible

I am part of a group that has developed an ASP.Net web application.
I'm presently trying to test some code I wrote that checks for IE
browser at session start (and issue warning if not IE), but I can't
seem to "get out the starting blocks" with any non-IE browser: I've
tried Netscape 4.8, Netscape 7.0, and Opera 7.5. I've gotten a few
different errors, but most often I get the following when attemting to
access the startup page:
HTTP 401.2 - Unauthorized: Logon failed due to server configuration
Internet Information Services
Anybody know how to get another browser to work? Only my old Netscape
4.8 pops up a login dialogue, but I can't get that to log in
correctly.
