Report off Active Directory

Hi ,
I want to report off our AD directory.
I used Crystal reports for that and created an OLE DB (ADO) connection and the provider was OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Directory Services.
This report is able to query and successfully pull the data from AD when I am using the Crystal Reports 2008 client.
When I put the same report in the BO Enterprise server environment it fails.
I have tried using an Universe in which the connection is based on OLE DB provider connecting to MS SQL Server 2008
I get the following error in Universe Designer
Universe Designer connection error: DBD: [Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server] : [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (ParseConnectParams()).]Invalid connection.
Any help is appreciated regarding how to make the Crystal report work in BOE or how to make the Universe Designer connection work in the designer.
Thanks

Hi Mohan
Did you ever get this to work?
I'd be interested in the solution.
Many Thanks

User login report in Active Directory for specific date and time

I want to get User login report in Active Directory for specific date and time e.g user logged in at15-01-2015 from 8:00am to 4:00pm
Is any query, script or any tool available?
Waiting for reply please

You can identify the last logon date and time using my script here: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Get-Active-Directory-User-bbcdd771
If you would like to get back in time and see when the user did a logon / logoff then you need to have auditing enabled. Once done, you can records from Security log in the event viewer: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/98cbecb0-d23d-479d-aa65-07e3e214e2c7/manage-active-directory-users-logon-logoff-events
I have started a Wiki about how to track logon / logoff and it can help too: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/20422.record-logon-logoff-activities-on-domain-servers-and-workstations-using-group-policy.aspx

Report on Active Directory User Attributes in SCCM 2012

I need to output a list of all users in a collection, along with certain user attributes from Active Directory. I can get part of what I need with the following query:
SELECT v_FullCollectionMembership.ResourceID,
v_R_User.Windows_NT_Domain0,
v_R_User.Distinguished_Name0,
v_R_User.Full_User_Name0,
v_R_User.Mail0,
v_R_User.User_Name0
FROM v_FullCollectionMembership, v_R_User
WHERE v_FullCollectionMembership.ResourceID = v_R_User.ResourceID
AND v_FullCollectionMembership.CollectionID = 'SMS00002'
If possible I need to add:
Last logon timestamp
User account status (enabled or disabled)
I have added "lastLogon" and "lastLogonTimestamp" as additional attributesunder Active Directory User Discovery. This discovery method is enabled and I have run a full discovery about a month ago, and again today. I read in
another thread that these attributes should appear in the table v_R_User, however they have not. Is v_R_User the right place to look for this or is there another view or table I can query?
Once I have the above sorted out, how can I find the user account status in SCCM? I have done reports in the past directly from AD and used the 'useraccountcontrol' attribute and I noticed there is a column named 'User_Account_Control0' in v_R_User, however
the values do not match those found in Active Directory.
Thanks.

Have you checked the attribute from the Active Directory in decimal format? Check that and compare it to the value ConfigMgr has stored in its 'User_Account_Control0'...
User Account Control tells you multiple things of the account, for example does the account have "Smart card login required" -option checked from the account properties.
The tricky part here is to actually get the report show you what you really want, because "useraccountcontrol" -attribute is a numeric value, you have to calculate what decimal combination means what in readable text.
More info on the attribute can be found from here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305144 and from there you can also find the values for different settings. For example:
account is enabled = 512
account is disabled = 514
account is enabled with smart card = 262656

Howto: VPN server authing off Active Directory

It is indeed possible to use the VPN server on OS X Server to authenticate VPN users against Active Directory using Radius. I've set it up twice now and it works well. Binding your server to AD doesn't work for the VPN service, you only have this option at the present for using those AD accounts.

Crystal Reports 2008 - Report off of Active Directory

Hello,
I have found a few articles on how to do this, but they don't seem to follow my wizard.
Can someone provide a tutorial on how to create a Crystal Reports 2008 report against active directory?
I have been able to do the following so far:
1) Create new OLE DB (ADO) connection
2) From Provider, choose OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Directory Services.
3) The fields I have are Data Source, User ID, and Password.
- I do not have a field for "LOCATION" that is referenced in documentation I have found on here.
4) I enter my server.domain.com:389 for active directory, a valid username and password.
5) It seems to create the connection, and wants me to ADD COMMAND. I haven't been able to find a command that actually works online. Does anyone have one? I.e.: Employee and Supervisor names.
Thank you,
Lin

backing up a step or two, make sure that the username you are using has a domain alias infront of it, something like "mydomain\myusername" should be the correct format. even if you don't get an error when you create the connection it may be incorrect. when entering in a command is the only time it actually tries to authenticate against the AD server. If you make a mistake when entering in the original connection (anytime before the add command part) remember that you will need to exit out of Crystal Reports and come back in. the connection can not be remade or edited once entered.
Now, as for what to put into the query, you will probably need to talk with your windows AD administrators. the one I used for my organization was something like this (replace the stuff between the <> marks with your data):
SELECT samaccountname, sn, givenname, mail FROM 'LDAP://OU=<yourOU>,DC=<yourdomain1>,DC=<yourdomain2>'
remember you can not use * to get data, it seems to take what ever properties you directly name. if you need names of properties or items to call, I'd recommend a quick google search on LDAP SQL queries.
I hope this helps

Active Directory 2008 and Crystal Reporting

Hello,
My company is planning to upgrade to Active Directory 2008 R2. But before we do so, we must understand how our servers & applications interact/work with Active Directory 2008 R2. Could you please answer the following questions in regards to your application Crystal Reporting (version 10):
1.     How does Crystal Reporting interact with Active Directory (AD)?
2.     Is there a specific domain controller hardcoded with Crystal Reporting ?
3.     Does Crystal Reporting support Active Directory 2008 R2?
Your assistance and timely response with this matter is very much appreciated. Thank you.
- Peter

Hi Peter,
Crystal Reports is a standalone install on the local Work Station. AD won't affect it. Unless there is some info you are telling us about how you access CR?
Thank you

Active Directory Diagnostics not running in PerfMon

Hello all!
I am trying to run Active Directory Diagnostics in Performance Monitor to address an lsass issue in which lsass consumes too much CPU.
I opened PerfMon from an elevated Command Prompt and expanded the tree: Data Collector Sets -> System -> Active Directory Diagnostics. I right-clicked Active Directory Diagnostics and selected "Start." The diagnostic is supposed
to run for 300 seconds and then generate a report. Problem is, nothing happened after that. If I right-click Active Directory Diagnostics again, the "Start" option is greyed out.
Under Reports -> System -> Active Directory Diagnostics, there are no items to show.
I consulted the following Microsoft Document:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971714 and found the following file path where the reports should be located: %systemdrive%\Perflogs\ADDS\<var>date report generation run</var>\*. But there is no ADDS folder and the Admin folder that
is there is empty.
Has anyone seen this before? If so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks.

Have you tried reload the AD DS perf counters?

How to authenticate user in Active Directory for an Oracle report

Hey there,
We have users of 1 report all over the country.
Currently, when using the report, the user chooses a location as a parameter, then runs the report.
The problem is we don't want the user to be able to see data from other locations, only their own.
So how can I do this as all users are set up in Active Directory, but the only thing that distinguishes them apart is under the Properties of the user, under the General tab, the Office field says where they are located.
Thanks in advance!

Active Directory Report

Hi,
I need to make a report that reads from my company's active directory and shows all active directory groups and their users... in addition i need it to be able to update automatically when someone adds a user in our active directory, anyone know a query that would allow this to happen?
- Daniel

So are you saying your requirement is that you must access the Active Directory via Oracle? If so, have you considered DBMS_LDAP?
Without knowing any other requirements wouldn't it be easier for the System/Network administrator to generate this report?

Active directory report getting Database Vendor Code: -2147217911

Hello,
I've created a report with CR 2008 to query some user names from Active Directory (Windows 2008 R2)
The report works fine on my computer (with my user)
works fine when I deploy it to BO XI 3.1.
But doesn't work when I schedule it.
I don't change the database logon user when scheduling. (it's the same when I run it online successfully)
I get the following error
Error in File ~tmp459c68e0c50eda0.rpt: Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: -2147217911 ]
what can I do?
Thank you

Edited by: erman ulusoy on Apr 11, 2011 2:39 PM

So here is the answer,
I've forgot to uncheck save data with report. So the report was not working also on BO.
So with a domain user it has worked.
thank you

SCCM report to show last logged on user and the Active Directory department attribute of that user.

I need to create an SCCM report to show last logged on user on all machines and the Active Directory department attribute of that last logged on user.

You problem is here.
right
join v_R_User USR on USR.ResourceID
= CS.ResourceID
USR.ResourceID != CS.ResourceID, you need to map the username to the user logon to the PC. By using the user’s department information you will
end up with unreliable results.
Anyways you need to make these changes to your query.
left
join v_R_User USR on USR.Unique_User_Name0
= CS.UserName0

SMS_AD_SECURITY_GROUP_DISCOVERY_AGENT - Active Directory Security Group Discovery Agent reported warnings for 524 object(s). DDRs were generated for 0 object(s) that had warning(s) while reading non-critical properties.

Hi, can anyone help me troubleshoot the following please:
Active Directory Security Group Discovery Agent reported warnings for 524 object(s). DDRs were generated for 0 object(s) that had warning(s) while reading non-critical properties. DDRs were not generated for 524 object(s) that had warnings while reading
critical properties.
Possible cause: OU name or Security Group name may contain at least a Unicode character which has conversion problem between Unicode and your system ANSI locale(e.g. Korean characters in English System Locale). The site server might not have access to
some properties of this object. The container specified might not have the properties available.
Solution: Please verify the Active Directory schema for properties that are not replicated or locked. Refer to the discovery logs for more information.
Does the error relate to 524 security groups? There are several invalid search paths listed in adsgdis.log, are these related?
Thanks,
Dale

You'll have to examine the log to determine exactly which objects its referring to. Although this is in the context of group discovery, group discovery still creates DDRs for computer objects within those groups so it could be either groups or computers.
This is not a search path issue though as it's clear that the discovery process found 524 different objects, but as stated, it could not properly read criticial properties of those objects and thus did not create DDRs for them.
As mentioned, reading the log in detail will list the objects individually and the reason it could not create a DDR for it.

Hello,
I was surfing the threads to see what is going on until I saw this posts and I was stopped to download this tool. It is a great tool Meinolf ! I downloaded it and trying to check all the reports. So far so good my friend. Also I was amazed once I saw the
nice "Trust Relationship" icon. Every time I run this tool I will definitely check for Trust Relationships first. :)
In addition I was wondering how it is possible to inform you about a method in order to improve the design in this tool?
