Adding Active Directory Users to local Groups
-
I am trying to add a AD user to a local group, but keep on getting an exception: ex Message - Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ex InnerException - An invalid directory pathname was passed
DirectoryEntry activeDirectory = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://DomainName.com", LoggedOnUser, LoggedOnPassword); DirectorySearcher dsUsers = new DirectorySearcher(activeDirectory); dsUsers.Filter = "samaccountname=" + userName; SearchResult srCheckUser; if ((srCheckUser = dsUsers.FindOne()) != null) { //User Found. DirectoryEntry newUser = srCheckUser.GetDirectoryEntry(); //Set up currentGroup...... currentGroup.Invoke("Add", new object[] { newUser.Path.ToString() }); } -

Turns out if you want to add a AD User to a local Group you should use WinNT connection strings. :wtf:
