How to check LDAP path in active directory

[cm6043]

Hi all,

Do soneone how check the ldap path of active directory object under windows 2000 server. For example I create a new domain user called test1. How can I check if its LDAP full path is cn=test1,ou=Users,dc=mycorp,dc=com? Thanks

Do a small vbscript.

set wshuser = getobject("LDAP://cn=test1,ou=Users,dc=mycorp,dc=com")

echo err

Save that as test.vbs then run cscript.exe //nologo test.vbs. If you get a 0 back then you were able to bind to that object and you have the correct path.

Hello all,

I would slightly amend what Micron1090 posted to make it good.

on error resume next
sdn = "cn=test1,ou=Users,dc=mycorp,dc=com"
set wshuser = getobject("LDAP://" & sdn)
if err.number<>0 then
    wscript.echo "error 0x" & hex(err.number) & vbcrlf & err.description
else
    wscript.echo "The target's distinguished name exists."
end if
set wshuser = nothing

The script if saved with .vbs, it can be executed by double-clicking on it.

Also maybe one-day you have to check other path, just change the sdn to your target and it will work the same.
