Query User to Identify which OU it Belongs
Question:
Ok, I've seen where you can query an OU to list it's members, but is there a way to query a user name to identify which OU it belongs to?Basically, I'm trying to identify the OU incase a user has an issue, I could easily id the OU in which I would know what policies are set.
Sorry, like a few others on the board, I don't have a clear understanding of the ADSI or LDAP stuff
Any help would be appreciated
Answer:
Here is one approach using the ADSI extender:
; Path to domain server or domain dn
sPath = "LDAP://shamrock"
; Search filter to find user account 'Slash'
sFilter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(samAccountName=Slash))"
; Do the search.
lResults = dsFindPath(sPath , sFilter)
; Get the OU path (assumes only one user found.)
sOuPath = dsGetPrntPath(lResults)
; Display results.
Message("User's OU", sOuPath)
