| Hi all, I am working on setting up FTP in AD Isolation mode. I have written
a batch file that I run to enable a user on the FTP server, I would like to
change this so that I can just right click on a user in AD Users & Computers
to do this, I have made the modification to the display specifier to call
the batch file, however, it is not passing what I want, does anybody know
if/what the variable is for the CN of the user, or would it be just as easy
to script this with VB instead? If so, does anybody already have a script or
a model that can be used for this? Thanks - Marc

| Sure, I was just using a batch file that called
iisftp
the context was "iisftp username"
all Z drives are the homedir of the user stored on our
hermes server in the share Z Drives, the purpose of this was to give users
access to their homedir remotely.
however, now that I want to use it from within AD Users
& Computers, I think I will have to rewrite it to set the variables using
vbs.
setftp.bat
-----
IIsFtp /SetADProp %1 FTPDir %1IIsFtp /SetADProp %1
FTPRoot "\\hermes\Z
Drives"-----
end
I will probably end up using a .vbs that looks similar to
this:
setftp.vbs
-----
Dim ouserFTPDir
Dim ouserFTPDRootDim oUser1 Set
oUserFTPDir = GetObject(ouser1(0)) Set oUserFTPRoot = "\\hermes\Z Drives"
oUser1.SetInfo
Set oUser1 = NothingSet ouserFTP =
NothingWScript.Quit
-----
end
I'm actually teaching a class right now(yes, one of my
students showed up for class the day before the holiday break starts, so I gave
him a nice subnetting lab, I'm soo sadistic), so I do not have access to any of
my reference/test servers, so this script will prolly crash on line 1. But, the
general idea is there.

| I need to propogate the FTPRoot and FTPDir fields in the
user objects, they are not available through ADUC, only by using iisftp or a
vbs. I am using FTP via IIS in AD Isolation Mode.

I'm still not clear on whether you want to do this for the homedrive
attribute or if you are trying to do something else.
Might just be a little dense (that sometimes happens around this time of
year).
You want to add a _vbscript_ to your ADU&C so you can right click and
enable some function that currently is not available, vs. using a script to
enable it in bulk. Is that correct?
I believe you want something similar to this, right? http://www.2000trainers.com/article.aspx?articleID=317&page=2
