Update distinguishedName field in Active Directory?

HI all,
We are trying to create the Active Directory users from SAP . But we are not able to manipulate the Distingushed Name attribute to create the users inside the right OU. We tried to pass the value of OU name to the attribute 'o' which is not affecting
the distinguishedName attribute. kindly suggest ideas??

> As of now We are pointing the Base entry to The "Users" Folder.
What's the "base entry"?
> But the requirement is to create the users
> in their particular OU.
Then why don't you do so? I fail to understand what you're actually
doing, maybe some lines of sample code can explain.

You're after the Server > Directory Services forum I believe. Active Directory now covers multiple areas and the full name of the section you're interested in is Active Directory: Directory Services.

Why do I get general access denied trying to update my own field in Active Directory?

I am trying to update a field pertaining to my own user object in Active Directory using ADSI and C++ app. The operating system
is Windows Server 2012 Standard.
I am able to read, I am able to call Put without problems, but when I call SetInfo, it returns with "General access denied". I have
confirmed that it's my own user object I'm trying to access.
I obtain my own FQDN like this:
GetUserNameEx(EXTENDED_NAME_FORMAT::NameFullyQualifiedDN, pszFullyQualifiedDN, &dwFullyQualifiedDN);
Then I use it like this:
LPTSTR pszObj = (LPTSTR)LocalAlloc(LPTR, dwMemToAlloc);
wcscpy_s(pszObj, dwMemToAlloc / sizeof(TCHAR), L"LDAP://");
wcscat_s(pszObj, dwMemToAlloc / sizeof(TCHAR), pszFullyQualifiedDN);
I bind to an object like this:
ADsGetObject(pszObj, IID_IADs, (LPVOID*)&pObject);
This call succeeds:
pObject->Get(CComBSTR("Description"), &var);
This call also succeeds:
VariantClear(&var);
V_BSTR(&var) = SysAllocString(L"Some new value");
V_VT(&var) = VT_BSTR;
hr = pObject->Put(CComBSTR("Description"), var);
Trying to commit the above change using the following:
pObject->SetInfo();
This is where it fails.
It returns E_ACCESSDENIED General access denied error.
As you can see, that is my own user object I am trying to update. To my understanding that is supposed to work provided I am a member of Domain
Users group. Which I am.
What could possibly be the problem?

The problem is that in Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller, permission to write to public (and personal,
for that matter) properties is not granted to "SELF". The field I am trying to write to belongs to public properties. The only property set a user is able to change for himself in Windows Server 2012, by default, seems to be "Private-Information",
which consists of ms-PKI-Credential-Roaming-Tokens,ms-PKI-RoamingTimeStamp, ms-PKI-DPAPIMasterKeys, ms-PKI-AccountCredentials
Why on earth a user doesn't have permission to write to his own personal fields in Windows Server 2012 AD, Microsoft??!?!?!

How to use Powershell to update user details in Active Directory?

Hi,
I received an updated contact list from HR of about 1500 names, and I want to update (make corrections and add missing data) ADUC quickly without having to do each user manually. How would I go about that using power-shell?
The fields that need updating are:
Under the General tab -> Description, Telephone number
Everything under the Address tab
Under the Telephone tab - > Mobile
Under the Organization tab -> Job Title, Department, Company, Manager
The server we're using is Windows Server 2008 R2.
Many thanks,

Adding a field of Active Directory

Hello,
In Active Directory we have a field called Office that is populated.
We are using Portal 6.0 SP1 - which syncs with AD via a Remote Authentication Source called Domain and a Profile Source called AD Profile. SSO is enabled.
In the AD Profile I added a property called Section and mapped it to Office - but nothing shows up, it is blank.
How do I get the office field from AD to show up in my sync to the Portal?
Hope this is enough info to get started!
Thanks,
V

Got it figured out.
The field Office in AD goes by the name physicalDeliveryOfficeName not office....
Check [url http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/LDAP_attributes_active_directory.htm#LDAP_Attribute_]this out
It loaded fine.
Thanks!

Security Update 2014-002 breaks Active Directory

Installed Security Update 2014-002 and now Macs in our office are unable to communicate with the domain controller, and new machines with the update can't bind to the domain.
My specific machine is a 2013 Mac Pro with OS 10.9.2.
Anyone else?

I connected the charger many times it didn't worked. Yes exactly it stopped charging. Then i tried again and again removing and moving the pin and it worked suddenly. i wasn't able to imagine that i purchased it in 2014 January. How it is possible that the brand new and so expensive item behave like this.
The problem i was facing is solved too after this behavior. As soon as my laptop started charging i switch from one screen to another right/left dashboard. Scroll up/down in safari. It is moving the same as before amazing fast.
I didn't installed or uninstalled anything as others did. I didn't understood at all how come the charger was stopped charging and how such awkard problems happened that made the laptop so slow that it behaves like it is dying or maybe something went wrong with the graphic card.
Thanks for helping.

Active Directory cn field not updated from sap HR using ldap.

Hi,
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum area.
I am using the LDAP facility to create and modify Active Directory records from sap HR. Initially, the name field cn that was coming across into AD was in the format of the logical system and employee number, eg, RD4CLNT22000000711.
I then implemented the BADI HRLDAP_ATTRIBUTES which then changed this name field cn in the active directory listing to the format; surname, forename.
It works fine when I create a new user, however the problem comes when I update the persons name in the sap hr module. The data that comes across into Active Directory shows the change to the persons surname sn, forename and displayname fields is there but the cn field is still showing as the previous name.
In short, when a new user is created, the cn field in active directory is correct
(surname, forename) but when the employees name is modified, that change is not brought across to the cn field even though the surname, forename and displayname fields are updated correctlyon AD.
We are on release 4.70.
Anyway, if anyone could help I would be very grateful.
Thanks
David

Hi
The problem it is causing us is that the cn field is incorrect and does not mirror the change in sap HR, therefore the Active Directory entry for the employee is not totally accurate.
When an employee changes their name in SAP HR - usually their surname, we would then want to update the employees active directory account to show this change and this includes the cn field also. At the moment the firstname, lastname fields do get updated with the change so we would want the cn field to show this as well otherwise the cn field would be incorrect and not match up with the employee's AD firstname & lastname fields.

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.

Import Active Directory Data into SAP HR

We are currently working on updating user data in Active directory from data stored in SAP HR via the LDAP Connector. This is working great! The question is what is required to make this happen the other way around. Ex Employee email address is stored in AD and we want to update IT105 email address from Active directory.
Thanks in Advance!

GRC CUP how to pull manager from Global directory or Active directory

Hi,
how can i pull manager from global directory or active directory as approver.We are designing dual control approval process.First manager from global directory can approve then role owner.In workflow stages i can only see approvers information has to be entered manaually in CAD.Also i am looking when requestor requesting request,it should automatically fetch manager information on the request page,once user id selected.
Thanks
Mushu

Dear Mushu,
Two things you need to do
1.) Maintain the Manager's Field in Active Directory and do mapping in CUP>Configuration>Field Mapping-->LDAP Mapping
2.) Keep LDAP as authentication system so that whenever a User has to log into the CUP he will do using his network id and his manager is automatically pulled from Active Directory.
Then in the workflow you can keep the approver determinator as Manager by which the request will routed to the appropriate manager. Hope that helps.

Problem with Oracle external procedures and Microsoft Active Directory

Hi,
Our server was recently updated to use Microsoft Active Directory. However, we noticed that all external procedure calls keeps on failing with ORA-28575: unable to open RPC connection external procedure agent. Everything was working fine before we migrated to Active Directory which is why we can say that the listener is configured correctly.
Any idea on how we can make extproc calls with Active Directory?
thanks.

Michael,
Oracle Forms does support Single Sign-On (SSO). Take a look at Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide: OC4J Java Single Sing-On. Also take a look at the Oracle Forms 10g Sample Code and scroll to the SSO demo under the Forms Services Demo section. There are also, numerous other documents available via Google. ;-)

Sharepoint 2013 Active Directory Import- Manager field not updating

Hi,
SharePoint 2013 Active directory import -Manager field not updating
Concern/Issue-
We are using SharePoint and configured the Active Directory Import .First import it seems everything is working fine and OOB Organization chart built using User profile data is coming out right.
Now the user is moved from one Organization Unit to Another.
Now our Manager field is not Updating .There is change in AD manager attribute but not reflecting in the SharePoint User profile.
Manger field is mapped to "manager" attribute in SharePoint.
We tried removing the user and Re-Import using Incremental import but no luck.
Thanks for help in advance
Sachin

Moving a user from one OU to another in AD won't normally change the Manager attribute in AD. You would need to edit the user's organization settings to change the manager value in AD. I've also seen these changes not be picked up unless something
other than just the manager field in AD changing. Try changing something like Office location and see if the manager change is picked up by AD Import.

Creating custom fields for manual entry and fields that gather data from Active Directory

So I am no SQL developer but I am being asked to do this.. I've spent the last few days researching but cannot find anything related to my particular situation.
I have made a copy of the following report to add or modify a few columns:
Hardware 01A - Summary of computers in a specific collection
So I have 2 questions:
How do I create a field that will search the "Managed By" tab in the Computer Properties window in Active Directory.
How do I create a field that can be manually updated for example: "Date Deployed" or "Deployed By: Analyst"
I understand I need edit this in SQL report builder and think I know how to create the columns. I believe all I am really asking is.. What are the SQL statements I need to write in order to get this to work?
I'm sure it's not as cut and dry as I hope it to be so I will be standing by to try to answer any further information that you will want to know.
thanks!

Before you can accomplish this you need:
"Managed by" -attribute has to be added to your Active Directory System Discovery, more on this here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb693618.aspx
For "Date Deployed", I'd use a custom Tattoo script in your task sequence to "Tattoo" the installation info in the registry, after that I'd configure the Hardware Inventory to pick that from the registry, more on this here: http://ccmexec.com/2012/08/script-to-tattoo-the-client-registry-during-osd/
and here: http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/post/reporting-about-the-all-the-different-os-deployment-versions-with-configmgr-2012/
After those prerequisites, you can start working with SQL reports. More info here: http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/10/29/sccm-2012-reporting-for-dummies-creating-your-own-ssrs-reports/
