RE: AdminMisc Question

This can be kind of confusing.

 

The best I have found when using AdminMisc is to use the UserGetMiscAttributes() function which populates a Hash reference.  This is also in Dave Roth's "Win32 Perl Programmig Second Edition".

 

Win32::AdminMisc::UserGetMiscAttriutes("", $User, \%Attributes);

 

Now you can test for a value using $Attributes and any of the objects in the hash.

 

if( $Attributes{User_Flags} & UF_Accountdisable)  {...

 

You can probably do the same thing with UserGet Attributes, but I think you will find this a little easier.

 

You would use a logical AND to reset it. ( ~UF_Accountdisable)

 

Do I get a better rate on Taxes now?    ;-)

 

Hope this helps.

Subject: AdminMisc Question

How do I find out what is in the $Flags variable.  When I run

 

UserGetAttributes($Server, $UserName, $UserFullName, $Password, $PasswordAge,
$Privilege, $HomeDir, $Comment, $Flags, $ScriptPath)

 

$Flags comes back with a number.

 

I am interested in finding out what the value of UF_LOCKOUT is and what I need to do to change the value with 

 

UserSetAttributes($Server, $UserName, $UserFullName, $Password, $PasswordAge,
$Privilege, $HomeDir, $Comment, $Flags, $ScriptPath)

 

Thanks for your assistance,

dan
