Re: [ActiveDir] Display Specifier + Command Variables

[Al Mulnick]

I'm still not clear on whether you want to do this for the homedrive attribute or if you are trying to do something else.

 

Might just be a little dense (that sometimes happens around this time of year). 

 

You want to add a _vbscript_ to your ADU&C so you can right click and enable some function that currently is not available, vs. using a script to enable it in bulk.  Is that correct?

 

I believe you want something similar to this, right? http://www.2000trainers.com/article.aspx?articleID=317&page=2

Sure, I was just using a batch file that called iisftp

the context was "iisftp username"

all Z drives are the homedir of the user stored on our hermes server in the share Z Drives, the purpose of this was to give users access to their homedir remotely.

however, now that I want to use it from within AD Users & Computers, I think I will have to rewrite it to set the variables using vbs.

 

setftp.bat

-----

IIsFtp /SetADProp %1 FTPDir %1
IIsFtp /SetADProp %1 FTPRoot "\\hermes\Z Drives"
-----

end
 

I will probably end up using a .vbs that looks similar to this:

 

setftp.vbs

-----

Dim ouserFTPDir

Dim ouserFTPDRoot
Dim oUser1
Set oUserFTPDir = GetObject(ouser1(0))
Set oUserFTPRoot = "\\hermes\Z Drives"

oUser1.SetInfo
Set oUser1 = Nothing
Set ouserFTP = Nothing
WScript.Quit

end

 

I'm actually teaching a class right now(yes, one of my students showed up for class the day before the holiday break starts, so I gave him a nice subnetting lab, I'm soo sadistic), so I do not have access to any of my reference/test servers, so this script will prolly crash on line 1. But, the general idea is there.

Marc, can you post the code you're using?  Cleaned up for internet consumption of course.

Hi all, I am working on setting up FTP in AD Isolation mode. I have written
a batch file that I run to enable a user on the FTP server, I would like to
change this so that I can just right click on a user in AD Users & Computers
to do this, I have made the modification to the display specifier to call
the batch file, however, it is not passing what I want, does anybody know
if/what the variable is for the CN of the user, or would it be just as easy
to script this with VB instead? If so, does anybody already have a script or
a model that can be used for this? Thanks - Marc
