Hi all,
I have a requirement to add a new primary SMTP address to our users, and
retain the existing primary SMTP address as an alias.
The attribute in AD that holds these values is "proxyAddresses".
Exchange uses any SMTP values in lowercase (eg
smtp:co...@angloirishbank.ie) as aliases, and will stamp outgoing SMTP
email with the value that starts with SMTP: uppercase (eg
SMTP:conorlil...@angloirishbank.ie).
I have attached below the script I am trying to use for proof of
concept, and while I am able to retrieve the current attribute values, I
am unable to successfully write the new values to AD.
I should clarify that I am basing the script on previous working scripts
and various articles on the web, and am not a full time coder so layout
/ coding is not necessarily optimum ;-)
Any assistance greatly appreciated. I am testing in disabled accounts in
the OU below so as not to impact on live accounts...
system("cls");
use Net::LDAP;
my $PDC = "PDC.domain.lan";
my $userid = "UserID\@domain.lan";
my $password = "Password";
my $newdomain = "NewDomain.com";
my $base = "ou=Disabled
Accounts,ou=IOM,ou=angloirishbank,DC=anglo,DC=lan";
my $ad = Net::LDAP->new("$PDC") || die "Could not connect!";
$ad->bind(dn =>"$userid", password=>"$password") || die $^E;
my @args =
(
base => $base,
filter => "(mail=*)",
attrs => "proxyAddresses",
);
my $results = $ad->search(@args);
my $count = $results->count;
print "Count = $count\n";
my $entry;
my $counter;
for (my $i=0; $i<$count; $i++)
{
$entry = $results->entry($i);
# Get First Name and Surname for new SMTP address to be
firstname.surn...@domain.com
my $FirstName = ($entry->get_value('givenName'));
my $SurName = ($entry->get_value('sn'));
@proxyAddresses =$entry->get_value('proxyAddresses');
my $arraycount = 0;
# Set all existing SMTP addresses to lowercase, Use $arraycount
variable to update record within array
foreach my $Proxy(@proxyAddresses)
{
if (grep /SMTP:/, $Proxy)
{
$Proxy=lc($Proxy);
$proxyAddresses[$arraycount]=$Proxy;
}
++$arraycount;
print "$name\tOLD\t:\t$Proxy\n";
}
if (!grep /SMTP:$FirstName.$SurName\@$newdomain/i,
@proxyAddresses)
{
push(@proxyAddresses,"SMTP:$FirstName.$SurName\@$newdomain");
}
# Print the new array to ensure appropriate values have been added
/ changed
foreach my $Proxy(@proxyAddresses){print
"$name\tNEW\t:\t$Proxy\n";}
# Update AD (hopefully)
$entry->replace('proxyAddresses',@proxyAddresses);
$entry->update($ad)|| die print "There was an error updating
record for $name\nError Text\t:\t".$^E;
# Retrieve the updated values to validate
print "\nRetrieving NEW SMTP Values\n\n\n";
my @proxyAddresses =$entry->get_value('proxyAddresses');
foreach my $Proxy(@proxyAddresses){print
"$name\tADSI\t:\t$Proxy\n";}
}
