I was wondering once we use AD to authenticate the user, is there any way of pulling the user information out of the AD Object component?

When creating my users table in FM, I would rather it pull the data from AD considering that the name, title, email, location, phone, etc etc is all stored in AD anyway.

TIA.

sure there is. You'll need to use VBscript or something similar though to interact with the AD, FM can't do it natively.

Thanks Wim,

Would this be a big effort or would the VB script be simple enough to do this without raising a big rukus with my IT dept.

Hi Wim, Any further thoughts on this?

Hi John,

There are probably some sample VBscripts in the VBscript repository FM database that's in the downloads section of my website (www.connectingdata.com). If there are not let me know and I'll point you to where you can find some.

Thanks Wim. I will check it out and try to search for the solution.
