Hi All,
I’ve created a function to search for users in Active Directory.
It’s fairly similar to the previous query to get the Domain Controllers.
The function accepts 2 parameters, the first being the username that’s being searched for, and the second is the type of search, e.g. begins with, or contains.
This code can also easily be modified to show all users in Active Directory by removing the samaccountname section in the query.
function Search(search,SearchType) {
var arrSearchResult = [];
var strSearch = '';
switch(SearchType) {
case "contains":
strSearch = "*"+search+"*";
break;
case "begins":
strSearch = search+"*";
break;
case "ends":
strSearch = "*"+search;
break;
case "exact":
strSearch = search;
break;
default:
strSearch = "*"+search+"*";
break;
}
objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE");
strDomain = objRootDSE.Get("DefaultNamingContext");
strOU = "OU=Users"; // Set the OU to search here.
strAttrib = "name,samaccountname"; // Set the attributes to retrieve here.
objConnection = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection");
objConnection.Provider="ADsDSOObject";
objConnection.Open("ADs Provider");
objCommand = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Command");
objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection;
var Dom = "LDAP://"+strOU+","+strDomain;
var arrAttrib = strAttrib.split(",");
objCommand.CommandText = "select '"+strAttrib+"' from '"+Dom+"' WHERE objectCategory = 'user' AND objectClass='user' AND samaccountname='"+search+"' ORDER BY samaccountname ASC";
try {
objRecordSet = objCommand.Execute();
objRecordSet.Movefirst;
while(!(objRecordSet.EoF)) {
var locarray = new Array();
for(var y = 0; y < arrAttrib.length; y++) {
locarray.push(objRecordSet.Fields(y).value);
}
arrSearchResult.push(locarray);
objRecordSet.MoveNext;
}
return arrSearchResult;
} catch(e) {
alert(e.message);
}
}
This function will return an array within an array with the strAttrib defining which fields are retrieved.
The output can be parsed with 2 for loops like so :
var arrResults = Search('user');
for(a in arrResults) {
for(b in arrResults[a]) {
alert(arrResults[a][b]);
}
}
That code snippet will alert all the attributes of the user queried.
