Active Directory (AD) using a login script Visual Basic Script (vbs)

 

Hi David,

 

You can set the directory path in Active Directory using 2 steps. One is in GPO and another using a VB script. If you are not using Windows server 2008, GPO setting may not be an option for you. You can try to run the script below to set the directory path using VB:

 

On Error Resume Next

 

Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://cn=Ken Myer, ou=Finance, dc=fabrikam, dc=com")

 

If IsEmpty(objUser.homeDirectory) or IsNull(objUser.homeDirectory) Then

 

strUser = objUser.sAMAccountName

 

strHomeDirectory = "\atl-dc-01users" & strUser

 

objUser.homeDirectory = strHomeDirectory

 

objUser.homeDrive = "Z:"

 

objUser.SetInfo

 

End If

 

Another code you can use is this:

 

Setfso =CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 

Setf1 =fso.GetFolder(".")' Returns the current directory Setf2 =fso.GetFolder(".backup")' Returns the "backup" directory under the current directory
