Hey, I am converting a Perl script into a Python script, and the part where the Perl script is searching Active Directory using the LDAP interface is throwing me a curve ball.
Here is a search for a Windows Group in Perl: my $hdb = Win32::OLE->new("ADODB.Connection"); $hdb->{Provider} = "ADsDSOObject"; $hdb->Open("ADSI Provider"); $rs = $hdb->Execute("<$adsdomain>;(&(objectCategory=Group)(name=$groupname));adspa th;SubTree"); Here is what I have in Python so far: adsi = win32com.client.Dispatch('ADsNameSpaces') ldap = adsi.getobject('','LDAP:') DSO = ldap.OpenDSObject("","","", 0) It errors on the DSO line. I am guessing that the 'DSO' Python object is the equivalent of the Perl "$hdb" object, but I don't know the syntax. I could be complete off-base here as the document I have found via Google don't explain what the code is doing, so I am left guessing. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, John A.

I just checked... And guess what... Py2exe is bundling netapi32.dll... I am working on a new beta, so I'll test to see if it will work on XP without netapi32.dll being bundled... If so, then we should be kosher... Good catch... I'll have to grab dependencywalker to get some practice... > py2exe isn't very good at determining which dlls belong to > the operating system, and so must not be distributed - > netapi32.dll is such a beast.

I just miss McMillian's installer... It's unsupported, so I've moved to py2exe... But McMillian's package seemed to be better with the dependency issues.... And offered a few features that don't exist in py2exe... (Or at least are not easily handled in py2exe...) On the plus side, py2exe has handled packages lately that I just could not get McMillian's installer to work reliably with... Which is why I switched... Oh well...
