VBScript to connect to a remote AD and search a user

You are missing a / next to LDAP:/ in the line below. The code looks ok otherwise.

Set objRootDse = objDSO.OpenDSObject("LDAP:/" & strComp & "/RootDSE" , strUser, strPass, ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION OR ADS_SERVER_BIND)

Are you getting any other error messages.

yes.. thank you..

I could infer that the ADODB connection is open, but the command is closed. Any light in this area ?

You are using strComp as variable which is invalid. A vbscript function called strComp exists so you have to rename that variable.

I have renamed it and the script executes successfully, but for that error. I infered it with  a msgbox(). Below is the updated Script:

'''' CUSTOM CODE STARTS '''''''
 
                                strUser = "<<BIND USER>>"
                                strPass = "***********"
                                strDC = "***************" '* the remote domain controller
                                strAccount = "<<SEARCH USER>>"
                               
                                Const ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION = 0
                                Const ADS_SERVER_BIND = 389

                                Set objDSO = GetObject("LDAP:")
                                Set objRootDse = objDSO.OpenDSObject("LDAP://" & strDC & "/RootDSE" , strUser, strPass, ADS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION OR ADS_SERVER_BIND)
                                strTargetDncDomain = objRootDse.Get("defaultNamingContext")
               
                                strBase    = "<" & "LDAP://" & strDC & "/" & strTargetDncDomain & ">;"
                                strAttrs = "CN;"
                                strScope = "subtree"
                                strFilter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(CN=" & strAccount & "));"

                                strQuery = strBase & strFilter & strAttrs & strScope

                                Set oConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
                                oConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
                                oConnection.Properties("Encrypt Password") = True
                                oConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider", strUser, strPass

                                Set oCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
                                oCommand.ActiveConnection = oConnection
                                oCommand.CommandTimeout = 30

                                oCommand.CommandText = strQuery

                                Set objRS = oCommand.Execute


                                Do While Not objRS.EOF
                                                strDnFound = objRS.Fields("CN")
                                                objRS.MoveNext
                                Loop
                               
                                objRS.close
                                oConnection.close

Thanks Raj, It works

You are welcome. Would you mind closing the question then please.

I am closing it. Thanks
