Lync on websearch only but updates from active directory are not processed.

Hello,
I use "websearch only" for "addressbookavailability". This is working fine on all client.
I have a problem with changes in active directory. When we change for example "job title" of someone then the old "job title" stays present on lync client. When i do a reset of the client of a new installation the new "job title"
is present.
Although we use "websearch only" for some changes it seems that the local address book of lync is still used.
Does someone know how i can force a lync client to also query active directory for this.
I know that the lync server updates every night but on many clients the local address book is not updated.
Regards

You still can force the Addressbook replication by running update-csuserdatabase and update-csadressbook. I suggest you delete the .slab files from Lync share web folder 0000000\000000 folder and then run above command. that will create brand new set of
files. the delete the sip folder from client PC and then restart the client to force download the local copy. see if that fix your issue.

Hello,
I'm sure this option will work. But this means that we have to do this on a regulary basis.
Is there no option to "force" lync client to query Active Directory all the time ? Not only for users.

Sp_who2 -need only active sessions from users which are not the background sessions

Hello,
sp_who2 -need only active sessions from users which are not the background sessions
Please assist.
Best regards,
Vishal

Its better to use DMV's to view only active sessions from users (spid>50) as mentioned by Shanky.
You can do that using sp_who2 but it requires a bit of programming to list only user sessions.

My phone on contract with t-mobile . Thanks

You can't have content in iCloud without having it on your phone, you will need to look at deleting items from your device that you don't need. Movies and TV shows from iTunes are possibly a good start because they tend to be large and can be redownloaded at a later date.

How do I get info from Active Directory and use it in my web-applications?

I borrowed a nice piece of code for JNDI hits against Active Directory from this website: http://www.sbfsbo.com/mike/JndiTutorial/
I have altered it and am trying to use it to retrieve info from our Active Directory Server.
I altered it to point to my domain, and I want to retrieve a person's full name(CN), e-mail address and their work location.
I've looked at lots of examples, I've tried lots of things, but I'm really missing something. I'm new to Java, new to JNDI, new to LDAP, new to AD and new to Tomcat. Any help would be so appreciated.
Thanks,
To show you the code, and the error message, I've changed the actual names I used for connection.

Any suggestions about using the data from Active directory in web-application.
Thanks.
R.Vaughn

By this time you probably have already solved this, but I think the problem is that the Search Base is relative to the attachment point specified with the PROVIDER_URL. Since you already specified "DC=mycomp,DC=isd" in that location, you merely want to set the search base to "". The error message is trying to tell you that it could only find half of the "DC=mycomp, DC=isd, DC=mycomp, DC=isd" that you specified for the search base.
Hope that helps someone.

How to create an embedded link with VBScript that references user website from Active Directory?

I have scoured the web for days and have not been able to quite come up with exactly what I need for this. I have created an Outlook signature deployment using VBScript which sets information in an already formatted Word doc using placeholders. (Ex. [Displayname],
[Initial], [City])
All of that works as expected, but now marketing would like to have an embedded link reference some of our users personal web pages. So the link would display some kind of standard text like "Click Here". Once clicked on the user would be redirected
to the personal web page of the person who sent the email. My problem is, I have no idea how to get the hyperlink to pull in the information from Active Directory...another problem is I know only enough coding to be dangerous so I am stuck.
Here is a sample of what I am working with, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Getting list of all users and their group memberships from Active Directory

Hi,
I want to retrieve a list of all the users and their group memberships through JNDI from Active Directory. I am using the following code to achieve this:
==================
import javax.naming.*;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.naming.directory.*;
public class GetUsersGroups{
     public static void main(String[] args){
          String[] attributeNames = {"memberOf"};
          //create an initial directory context
          Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
          env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
          env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://172.19.1.32:389/");
          env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
          env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "[email protected]");
          env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "p8admin");
          try {
               // Create the initial directory context
               DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
               //get all the users list and their group memberships
               NamingEnumeration contentsEnum = ctx.list("CN=Users,DC=filenetp8,DC=com");
               while (contentsEnum.hasMore()){
                    NameClassPair ncp = (NameClassPair) contentsEnum.next();
                    String userName = ncp.getName();
                    System.out.println("User: "+userName);
                    try{
                         System.out.println("am here....1");
                         Attributes attrs = ctx.getAttributes(userName, attributeNames); // only asked for one attribute so only one should be returned
                         System.out.println("am here....2");
                         Attribute groupsAttribute = attrs.get(attributeNames[0]); // memberOf
                         System.out.println("-----"+groupsAttribute.size());
                         if (groupsAttribute != null){
                              // memberOf is a multi valued attribute
                              for (int i=0; i<groupsAttribute.size(); i++){
                              // print out each group that user belongs to
                              System.out.println("MemberOf: "+groupsAttribute.get(i));
                    }catch(NamingException ne){
                    // ignore for now
               System.err.println("Problem encountered....0000:" + ne);
               //get all the groups list
          } catch (NamingException e) {
          System.err.println("Problem encountered 1111:" + e);
=================
The following exception gets thrown at every user entry:
User: CN=Administrator
am here....1
Problem encountered....0000:javax.naming.NamingException: [LDAP: error code 1 -
000020D6: SvcErr: DSID-03100690, problem 5012 (DIR_ERROR), data 0
]; remaining name 'CN=Administrator'
I think it gets thrown at this line in the code:
Attributes attrs = ctx.getAttributes(userName, attributeNames);
Any idea how to overcome this and where am I wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

In this sentence:
Attributes attrs = ctx.getAttributes(userName, attributeNames); // only asked for one attribute so only one should
It seems Ok when I add "CN=Users,DC=filenetp8,DC=com" after userName, just as
userName + ",CN=Users,DC=filenetp8,DC=com"
But I still have some problem with it.
Hope it will be useful for you.

Exchange Distribution Groups not updating in Active Directory

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is intended behaviour or not, but any distribution group we create in Exchange ECP does not update in Active Directory Users and Computers. Any particular reason why?
For example, we have a user group called "Managers" and we've recently created a new group called Area Managers. We've since moved some people out of Managers and put them in Area Managers, however in Active Directory all we see is the Managers
group with all the old managers in there. The OU for the Area Managers group has been set correctly.

Hi,
Please run the following command to confirm the members of two groups.
Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity Area Managers
Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity Managers
I also suggest to remove the member from “Managers” in AD then check the members of “Managers” in EAC to check this problem.

Appending a csv column exported from Active Directory

Hi Guys
We have a new access control system. The DB of the control system needs to be updated with new people from Active Directory. It has an import tool to this. I want to automate it to do it every hour. So I started writing a powershell script to export any
users that have changed in the last day. Here is what I have so far:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties * | Where {$_.Modified -ge $(Get-Date).AddDays(-1)} | select rcscardcode | Export-Csv -path C:\Users\johncolfer\Desktop\TempStuff\Active-dir\export12.csv
So as you can see I have selected a property "rcscardcode". It is a custom attribute in AD. An example of 1 of these numbers in the exported csv file is "1141410511000000" I need to be able to change this number to "1141410511"
and all subsequent numbers in that column of the csv file. Is this possible?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
John

Still no joy:
I changed a property for a test account in AD which is a standard attribute. So I changed the "company" attribute to "987654321000000" in attribute editor. I then ran the following
Get-ADUser-Identitygoofy-Properties*|select
company|%{
$_.company=$_.company.Substring(0,10)
} |Export-Csv-pathC:\Users\johncolfer\Desktop\TempStuff\Active-dir\export1342.csv-NoType
It ran ok, but there was nothing in the exported CSV. I was hoping to see 1 column with a value of "987654321"

IDM / Active Directory : Attributes not geting updated

I am trying to update attributes in my Active Directory Resource, via IDM. But, they are not getting updated.
Before we installed the IDM system in our organization, the Active Directory's "*Department*" field contained previous (old) information.
Now, we want to use IDM to update this information for ALL our employees.
I used the "*Default*" syntax in the IDM User Form, as follows :
*<Field name = 'global.department'>*
*<Display class='Text'>*
*<Property name='Title' value='Department'/>*
*</Display>*
*<Default>*
*<s>Sales Department</s>*
*</Default>*
*</Field>*
Next, I mapped this attribute to the Active Directory "*Department*" field.
However, the new value "*Sales Department*" is not being sent to Active Directory. The old values still remain.
When I tried to do the update directly in AD...........I simply DELETED the old value. And then, I went to IDM to update the employee's account (thereby, I tried to PUSH the new value into AD). But, it did not work. Instead, IDM displayed the following info :
Old value : "empty space"
New value : "old data"
The new data........"*Sales Department*"..........was not being sent to AD.
Next, I simply repeated the update process in AD. But this time, I erased the old data, and wrote "*Sales Department*". Then it worked. AD accepted the new data, and also sent it BACK to idm.
I found this very strange
*(a) why does AD not get updated with the new value from IDM?*
*(b) why does AD reject the new value if the field itself (in AD) is left blank?*
*(c) how can I UPDATE all the employees in Active directory with the new DEFAULT data : "Sales Department"*

MichaelSt wrote:
I want IDM to update AD (meaning, the data-flow is from IDM to AD), not the other way round.
Using "*accounts[AD].department*" means that IDM will take its data FROM active directory. I want AD to take info FROM idmSorry but that's incorrect. The global namespace simply maps an attribute to the equivalent accounts[...].attribute name. So global.department would translate to accounts[AD].department and accounts[LDAP].department and accounts[Some Resource].department. (Incidentally, global.department would get set by the first resource IDM reads with a department attribute so it is very possible to read the attribute from AD. AD may simply not be the first one that IDM comes across.)
Setting the individual resource value, as redindian suggested, is a perfectly valid way of pushing attributes to the resource. (Assuming of course you have the attribute marked as writable in the resource configuration.) So technically if you so desired, you could set different values for accounts[LDAP].department and accounts[AD].department and accounts[Some Resource].department which you cannot do if you use the global namespace.
I do this all the time for some of my attributes. For example, some of my resources (usually the really old legacy ones) require an upper case email address while others require lower case addresses. I set different values for accounts[Legacy Resource].email and accounts[Newer Resource].email when I want to push the attribute down to the resource. I also avoid the global namespace like the plague. I've had so many problems with it mapping data incorrectly that it's just easier to set the individual attributes directly.
The attributes set in the accounts[Resource] namespace is a perfectly valid way to both reference attributes on a resource as well as set them.
As has been suggested, don't use a default but rather use an expansion.

User profiles from Active directory when loggedin then userdisplay, useredit shows blank white screen in SharePoint 2013

User profiles from Active directory when loggedin then userdisplay, useredit shows blank white screen in SharePoint 2013
I can login with the these AD users and AD direct import is working just fine. We are not using UPS.
With admin user when I click on the user it shows up proper data. But when I login with the same user it does not show me userdisplay/useredit and shows blank data. Also another strange thing is when I add new item in list with these AD users created by
modified by is blank and its really strange. I checked user information list, tried to rerun user sync with direct AD import option but no success.

Hi Amit,
According to your description, my understanding is that the page is blank when the use accessed /_layouts/15/userdisp.aspx and the created by field was blank when the user created a new list item in SharePoint 2013.
I tested the same scenario per your post, however I cannot reproduce your issue.
For troubleshooting this issue, I recommend to verify the things below:
Check the permission of the user in the corresponding site collection to see if he can access /_layouts/15/userdisp.aspx.
Delete the user from AD and SharePoint, then re-add the user to AD and grant proper permission to the user in SharePoint to see if the issue still occurs.
Did this issue occur with all the users? Add a new user in AD and test the same scenario.
Best regards.
Thanks

Link DN with information coming from active directory

I have setup a Unified CM and IM/presence server. The Unified CM server is connected to LDAP active directory to authenticate the users that login via the Cisco Jabber Windows client. I have configured CSFdevices for each user and created a DN which has the same number as the normal phone line number. The users logging in to the cisco jabber client appears well as reachable in to the client for the other user that are logged in. However when I try to call them (via the number that comes from active directory) this doesn't work. (busy number) When I type the number that I have configured as a DN I succeed to make a connection with a different user.
Any idea how to link the DN from the CSF softphone with the information that comes from Active directory.
Any help would be appreciated.

Forget about application dial rules mate, if you do desk phone control using Jabber, and you dial a person using that person's telephone attribute in AD, just put a translation pattern in place. That should work.
that way you can also use DNA for troubleshooting purposes.
Alternatively, you can populate the ipphone in AD and populate that with the extension that is configured on the phone/CSF device and alter the LDAP atrribute mappings in Presence (applications>cisco jabber>jabber settings). but this will not solve your problem if you use like iphones, ipads .

Extract data from active directory array

Hello,
I have recently connected Crystal Reports XI to Active Directory 2003. I am able to pull back a user's data like sAMAccountName, department etc.
However I am unable to pull back the groups that a user is assigned to. I am thinking this might be because they have multiple groups assigned to them?
Here is the code i am using to select and return the data for name etc:
SELECT name,company,department,samaccountname,mail,manager, mobile, memberof
FROM 'LDAP://OU=Interne,OU=Users,OU=Orkla Finans,DC=finans,DC=orkla,DC=net'
How would one return a user's groups that they are assigned to? I have tried entering the memberOf field in my code, but this returns empty. It seems like Crystal is returning the memberOF field as a string while it is stored as an array in Active Directory.

Hi Lars
The reason of this behaviour should be related to the type of information; in fact, the particular field that shows blank in CR, is ideally a multi-valued attribute.
On the other hand, this is not seem actually Crystal related; Microsoft has acknowledged this limitation in the article ID 299410 at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299410
The workaround is to report off a text file:
- From Active Directory Users and Computers or from ADSI Edit (where you would get more information), locate the level where you want the information retrieved from, for instance OU= (top level);
- Right-click on the folder and select u2018Export listu2019;
- Save the file in TXT format.
- From Crystal Reports, create new report;
- From Database Expert, click on u2018Create a new connectionu2019 folder;
- Double-click on u2018Access/Excel(DAO)u2019 folder;
- Change the u2018Database typeu2019 to u2018Textu2019 and select the u2018Database Nameu2019, which is the TXT file;
- Select u2018Finishu2019;
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Hope this helps!!!
