Question:

I'm trying to create a new user account in win2k AD. user will reside in a custom OU structure. my ADSIPATH looks like:

sAdsiPath = "LDAP://cn=ou3,ou=ou2,ou=ou1,dc=mydom,dc=com"
sObjectClass = "user"
sUserName = strcat("cn=",firstname," ",lastname)
sObjectPath = dsCreateObj( sAdsipath, sObjectClass, sUserName)

I have created a user in the default USERS folder but we want to organize our users and workstations by locationa and functional area

Some additional info....

If I simplify the sadsipath:

sadsipath = "LDAP://CN=users,DC=mydom,DC=com"

It works fine. I can add the user.

I still need help adding the user to a different OU Any ideas??

Answer:

Make sure you only refer to an organizational unit with the syntax "ou=". You can not access an ou by using "cn=". Also, you have multiple ou's in our path, this would only work if you have nested ou's.

Resolution:

I got it working.

1. OUs should be listed from lowest level to highest level in sAdsiPath

2. OU names are case sensitive

3. users is not the same Users

When I fixed that, it started working. Thanx for your help
