I have just installed Snitz to a 2003 AD Domain Controller and it sorta works. The system auto-creates an account with the username, but no other details are created (full name, email address, etc.) I'm not using NT Groups (although I might like to in the future)
For the first user, this worked OK because nothing else was a required field, and a blank email address was unique. But for the second user, the blank email was no longer unique, so it says that the email address is in use (misleading error.)
I saw the reference to using an LDAP AD call instead of the WINNT:// call, but the code was incorrect/incomplete. Has anyone already solved this, or do I need to hunt down the right calls using the ADSI Scriptomatic (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/tools/admatic.mspx) ?

You can turn off the Require Unique E-mail in the E-Mail Server Configuration and that will solve problem #2 (... for the second user, the blank email was no longer unique ...).
As for the rest of that I can't say, having not worked with those aspects of Snitz yet. |

Thanks for the reply. Doesn't that mean the email functions will be effectively disabled for those users who don't fill in that info?
I think I'll do that, just so people can get in without trouble, then I can do some sort of properties sync to get the rest of the info out of AD and into the DB. I've seen a SQL script that can read AD directly as if it is an ADO datasource, and it treats it like a table that can be queried, joined to, etc. I'll bet I could write an update statement that'll pull the missing info in, then make a DTS package that'll do it periodically. Challenging!

pretty much, yeah. I've got the e-mail field disabled on the intranet forum at work. I had to do that because not everyone was given one... unfortunatly it means that I can't set up a lot of things like automaitcally e-mailing someone when they've been approved for a class. |
