LDAP User Account Properties: The WMI way

Posted on 19:38 by Unknown
This is just something I ran across working on a recent project.  You can replace "." (local computer) with any valid NetBIOS name on your network (as long as you execute the script code with sufficient privileges to access the WMI Namespace)

[code]
strComputer = "." 
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\directory\LDAP")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM ds_user",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
Wscript.Echo "-----------------------------------"
Wscript.Echo "ds_user instance"
Wscript.Echo "-----------------------------------"
'Wscript.Echo "DS_objectGUID: " & objItem.DS_objectGUID
'Wscript.Echo "DS_objectSid: " & objItem.DS_objectSid
Wscript.Echo "DS_pwdLastSet: " & objItem.DS_pwdLastSet
Wscript.Echo "DS_sAMAccountName: " & objItem.DS_sAMAccountName
Wscript.Echo "DS_sAMAccountType: " & objItem.DS_sAMAccountType
Wscript.Echo "DS_whenCreated: " & objItem.DS_whenCreated
Wscript.Echo "DS_whenChanged: " & objItem.DS_whenChanged
Next
[/code]

Note that I commented out the GUID and SID properties.  That was for simplicity. You can fetch them to a variable, convert them to an appropriate data type, so that WSH / VBScript can correctly "echo" the results.  Cheers!
