Re: Active Directory update weirdness

in reply to Active Directory update weirdness

I would use Net::LDAP for this kind of thing so I'm not familiar with this usage, but here are some suggestions:

ERROR Checking after each fetch/update: Something like :
If (Win32::OLE->LastError != 0) {
print "objuser (or whatever): ".Win32::OLE->LastError()
Use the "Put" function instead of hash access : $user->Put("telephoneNumber","555");
Search this site for similar usage, like this node

Thanks for your reply.

I had omitted error-checking for brevity. At each point, however, LastError() was returning 0.
Put didn't help; same behavior.
I had been shying away from Net::LDAP, simply because there seemed to be even less documentation around for it than Win32::OLE and ASDI (although they're both pretty sparse, alas). But the script in the replies to that comment did work, and did help me along. Thank you!
