RE: [ActiveDir] help querying for groups

Hey Mark,   I am not an ADO fan but it appears you are missing the attributes you want returned in your execute...   BTW, this will get you ALL groups named RPT* in the domain, it won't just get Global Groups. If you want global groups only, you need to add something to your filter...   All Global Groups: (groupType=grouptype:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2) All Global DLs: (groupType=2) All Global Security groups: (groupType=-2147483646)   See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">  for the group type enumeration...   Of course you could always do something like:   adfind -bit -b <domain DN> -f "&(objectcategory=group)(groupType=grouptype:AND:=2)(name=RPT*)"   or if you just want DNs you could do   adfind -bit -b <domain DN> -f "&(objectcategory=group)(groupType=grouptype:AND:=2)(name=RPT*)" -dn         joe     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Creamer, Mark Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 4:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] help querying for groups Hi, can someone help me troubleshoot this script? I’m trying to return all of the global groups in the domain whose name starts with RPT. All I’m getting is the error: “Provider: Unspecified error”   strBase = "<LDAP://dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com>;" strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=group)(name=RPT*));" strScope = "Subtree"   Set objConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") objConn.Open "Provider=ADsDSOObject" Set ObjRS = objConn.Execute(strBase & strFilter & strScope) objRS.MoveFirst While Not ObjRS.EOF      WScript.Echo objRS.Fields(0).Value      objRS.MoveNext Wend   I’m trying to do this by altering one of the recipes in Robbie Allen’s book.
