Modify Distribution Lists

[LoganDecker84]

I have a number of DL's that I need to update the managed by field. All the DL's are located in the same OU. The script I am using is the following

Set objGroup = GetObject _
("LDAP://cn=Scientists,ou=R&D,dc=NA,dc=fabrikam,dc=com")

objGroup.Put "managedBy", "cn=MyerKen,ou=Management,dc=NA,dc=fabrikam,dc=com"
objGroup.SetInfo


First the script is generating a "dn syntax" error on the objGrop.Setfo line In addition is it possible to update all DL's that begin with DL-US-xxx all at once? I have about 50 DL's that begin with DL-US-xxx and to manually do them one at a time will be very time consuming. Appreciate your response.

Thanks

What you posted looks like an example from MS...are you sure you're specifying the correct distinguished names for the DL and the user managing it?

yes, rather than put my company's info, i put MS's example.
Ya never know who is lurking on these forums i dont need to get crap for posting our Domain info.

How about make sure the dn is in the same domain and it corresponds to a user object actually existing? (When setting the managedBy in object A to object B's dn, ad will have some internal work to update some setting of object B - the manager - to assure internal consistency. This might fail for those reasons?)

I would suggest you post your real code and JUST change the domain name info to something generic so we can see if there are any syntax errors in what you are really using.

I hope you find this post helpful.
