CN UserName With Comma using VBScript LDAP Query

[Armstrong]

Hi all,

I am trying a simple LDAP Query to get "Last Password Change" from 2000 Active Directory and I am having a problem passing the CN since it is using the display name which contains a comma. Here is my code:

'strNamValue = "PLAINUSER"
strNamValue = "LastName, FirstName"
'NT AccountName = LastName_FirstName (doesn't work either)


Set objUser = GetObject ("LDAP://cn=" & strNamValue & ",ou=Users - ABC IBS,ou=Santa Ana,dc=corp,dc=RBB-inc,dc=com")
dtmValue = objUser.PasswordLastChanged
Wscript.echo "Password Last Changed: " & dtmvalue

This works for plainuser (which is also in the same location as all of the users I need to get to under the ABC IBS Group).

I am either getting "Invalid dn syntax" due to the comma, or I am getting "Object not on server" I don't know where to go with this.

Thanks in advance,
Armstrong

Problem solved by tsuji in VBScript Forum! Thanks tsuji, you rock! He solved it using an escape character. I didn't even know there was an escape character for LDAP.

Here is resolution for your convenience:

Hello Armstrong,

Try this.
strNamValue = "LastName\, FirstName"
