[Tutor] Python and Active directory

[Christian Wyglendowski]

Here is something to start with (code courtesy of

ef424c.tim%40worthy.demon.co.uk&rnum=2&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dwin32com.clien
t.getobject%2520ldap%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26sa%3D
N%26tab%3Dwg ):

#begin code
import win32com.client #from Mark Hammond's pywin32 module

def do_onecontainer(Container):
    for oneobject in Container:
        if oneobject.Class.lower()=='user': #found a user! do what you
want here (print, write to file, add to database, etc)
            print oneobject.cn 
 
        if oneobject.Class.lower()=="organizationalunit" or \
        oneobject.Class.lower()== "container": #found a subcontainer -
search it for users by recursively calling do_onecontainer()
            do_onecontainer(oneobject)

startContainer=win32com.client.GetObject("LDAP://DC=yourdomain,DC=suffix
") #make sure to set your domain info

do_onecontainer(startContainer)
#end code

There is probably a way to do this with ADODB and LDAP queries, but this
works.

Hi!
 
Is there any module or other ways of extracting/listing/modifying
users/person account  information from Active directory?
If there is? Where can I find information about this?
 
I need to make a script that exports all users in all OU's to a
formatted textfile.
 
 
Thanks!
