Hi folks,
I was just wondering if anyone was using PERL to any great effect to
query Active DIrectory.
I'm in the middle of a fairly large project at work that requires
getting (constantly changing) info from AD. I was doing the same
things on a daily basis so thought it best to try and script it.
Is there any way to directly interrogate AD from within PERL. At the
moment, the only way I have been able to figure out is to use the
Windows Admin Pak to call:
open query, "dsquery group -name "x" | dsget group -members |";
from within the script and then use the piped output of the open
command to strip out the data that I want.
It works OK, just takes a hell of a long time!
The other issue I get is the default return size that is set in our AD
environment, 1000, so groups with any larger than 1000 users return
nothing.
I know you can get round this with VB, but PERL is my language of
choice! :-)
Anyone with any tips?
Yeah you probably want to use Net::LDAP
it is part of the perl-ldap package
btw this will work with all major directory services
Netscape, AD, NDS, and Solaris Directory
.
