Using VBScript Gxp
The VBScript solution required quite a bit of code to perform a simple task printing out the account lockout and password policy settings. First, I created a Dictionary object with each of the six attributes as the keys and the unit's designation for each key e.g., minutes as the value. I then iterated over each key, printing it along with the value retrieved from the domain object. Some additional code was necessary to distinguish between the values returned from some of the attributes. In the...

A useful way to troubleshoot specific problems you are encountering with Active Directory is to increase the diagnostics logging level. Diagnostics logging can be enabled by component. For example, if you determine the Knowledge Consistency Checker KCC is not completing every 15 minutes, you can enable diagnostics logging for the 1 Knowledge Consistency Checker setting. By default, all settings are set to 0, which disables diagnostic logging, but you can increase it by setting it to a number...

User accounts can be configured to expire on a certain date. Account expiration is stored in the accountExpires attribute on a user object. This attribute contains a large integer representation of the date in which the account expires. If you set this attribute to 0, it disables account expiration for the user i.e., the account will never expire . Note that this is different than the dsmod user command where a value of 0 with -acctexpires will cause the account to expire at the end of the day....

The userAccountcontroi attribute on user and computer objects could be considered the kitchen sink of miscellaneous and sometimes completely unrelated user account properties. If you have to work with creating and managing user objects very much, you'll need to become intimately familiar with this attribute. The userAccountcontroi attribute is a bit flag, which means you have to take a couple extra steps to search against it or modify it. See Recipe 4.9 for more on searching with a bit-wise...
