You can read the active directory stuff from InfoPath, but I don't think editing Windows Network User Accounts is going to be an easy task from within something like InfoPath. It seems like the only way to do this is through the wizards built in to Windows. You might be able to cook up some sly javascript files that could do what you're thinking, but I wouldn't even know where to start on those.

If you figure out how to do this, please let us know, this is very interesting!

Would the web service allow me to add user accounts/computers and make chnages to existing accounts? ie disable accounts

This is the main feature i am looking for in the form i am designing

Thanks

Hi bashira,

this error is caused by cross-domain settings on the local computer and occurs when accessing data across domains is not allowed. Note that "domain" refers to Internet/Intranet domain, and not to network domain.

I would suggest to make a web service -or even take the one from this site- to access your Active Directory and bind the web service as a secondary data source to your form.

I´ve done this for a few times now and it works really fine.

For any further information please don´t hesitate to ask...

Regards,

Patrick,

do you have any idea as to where i need to look in group policy?

is there an alternative i could use?

The reason why i am creating this form is to allow manager to fill out a leavers form when a user leaves the company. Once they submitt the form, it should for example, disable their Active Directory Account, Remove any Group Memberships, Remove user fom GAL etc...

Any ideas?

Hi again,
You've done everything that you need to. The only remaining thing I can think of is some kind of Windows security policy.

The following error occurred:

Safety settings on this computer prohibit accessing a data source on another domain.

Hi bashira,

I believe you can control this simply by adjusting a browser setting.

Using IE6, look under "Tools", "Internet Options", Security tab, the appropriate zone, and then Custom Level. In the Miscellaneous section, enable the "Access data sources across domains".

Hope that helps...

Hi Patrick,

When i double click on the xsn file, and click the button, i get the error

The following error occurred:

Safety settings on this computer prohibit accessing a data source on another domain.
File:script.vbs
Line:32

any ideas?

Patrick,

thanks for your reply.

I have set the form trust to fully trusted (tools>form options>security)

I wll add the url and check.

I have not yet installed the form.

Can you advise or refer me on a guide to using regform?

Thanks

Hi Bashira,

Setting the form to full trust should resolve the problem, but are you installing an MSI (via Regform) or using digital signatures?

Is the URL for www.SiemensFinancialServices.co.uk added to the Trusted Sites in your IE security settins.

I have a simply form which i am testing to see if i can get some vb code working.

the form has three fields, fname, sname, username, and a button with custom code as

dim sFirstname, sSurname, sUsername

sFirstname = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:myFields/my:firstname").text
sSurname = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:myFields/my:surname").text
sUsername = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//my:myFields/my:username").text

msgbox " Checking for " & sfirstname & " " & sSurname

'Setup Active Directory Connection Properties

Set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider = "ADSDSOObject"
conn.Open "ADs Provider"

sLdap = "<LDAP://dc=siemensfinancialservices,dc=co,dc=uk>;(&(objectCategory=User)(distinguishedName=*)(samAccountName=" & sUsername & "));distinguishedName;subtree"
Set rs = conn.Execute(sLdap)
If rs.RecordCount = 0 Then
Msgbox "Username: " & sUserName & " does not exist."
Else
sUserDN = rs.fields("distinguishedName")
Msgbox DomainContainer
Set oUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & sUserDN)
oUser.msExchHideFromAddressLists = True
oUser.userAccountControl = "514"
oUser.SetInfo
If oUser.userAccountControl = "514" Then
sAS = "Disabled"
Elseif oUser.userAccessControl = "512" Then
sAS = "Enabled"
End If
Msgbox "User: " & sUserDN & vbcrlf & "Hide From GAL? " & oUser.Get("msExchHideFromAddressLists") & vbcrlf & "Account is: " & sAS
Set oUser = Nothing
End If

conn.close

I receive a an error ActiveX component cant create object: 'Get Object'

File: script.vbs
Line41

I get this error wheather i publish to sharepoint or to a shared folder.
