Hello Simon,
I've actually had great success with the win32::perms module. I'm not sure
exactly what is going wrong on your system but I have a few ideas.
- First try using DCNAME\USERNAME instead of DOMAIN\USERNAME . Remember that
domain accounts are treated as local users on a DC. If you don't want to
hard-code a particular DC in your script, then you can use the
AdminMisc::GetDC function to pick one dynamicaly.
- Make sure that you are logged into the domain (not locally) when you are
testing the script. I don't believe that is a requirement, but it would be
good troubleshooting. I've found that if I am logged into the domain when
running a win32::Perms script, it assumes the local domain. It works for me
by simply calling:
$sd->Owner('Username');
good luck and let me know if you are still having trouble,
Dan
