RE: Creating a user in Win2K AD via Net::LDAP

[Behruz R. <beh...@cp...>]

Make sure you are using the right object classes and the mandatory
attributes you need to create a user in AD.
Try this to create a mail-enabled user in ActiveDirectory.

userAccountControl = 512
cn = John Smith
givenName= John
mailNickname =Smith
sAMAccountName =Smith
sn=Smith
userPrincipalName =Smith
objectclass=top;person;organizationalPerson;user;securityPrincipal;mailRecip
ient


You can even try first to add a entry by using the "ldapmodify" utility to
make sure you can create this entry whithin the directory before starting to
add it through a program.

you might want to look at your directory's logs.
what kinds of errors are your getting.
it could be permissions, a replicated branch, a required objectclass being
left out...

I'm trying to create userid's in Win2K AD via Net::LDAP with little
success.... I can manipulate current accounts, but can't create them.... has
anyone else been successful with this?... and if so, would you care to share
what you did?

Thanks.
