DirectoryServices: Remove user object property

[S. Lemen]

Hi,

The CommitChanges method returns an error after earlier property
..Remove methods are successfull.

The error is:

"The attribute syntax specified to the directory service is invalid."

'code:
' oAdDirEntry is a Directory Services DirectoryEntry object, which is
an AD user object.
'The mDBOverHardQuotaLimit attribute exists for that user object

oAdDirEntry.Properties("mDBOverHardQuotaLimit").Re move("mDBOverHardQuotaLimit")
oAdDirEntry.CommitChanges()

Thank you for your help,

S. Lemen

>' oAdDirEntry is a Directory Services DirectoryEntry object, which is

an AD user object.
'The mDBOverHardQuotaLimit attribute exists for that user object

oAdDirEntry.Properties("mDBOverHardQuotaLimit").R emove("mDBOverHardQuotaLimit")
oAdDirEntry.CommitChanges()

Try the .Clear() method:

oAdDirEntry.Properties("mDBOverHardQuotaLimit").Cl ear();
oAdDirEntry.CommitChanges()

Does this work by any chance?

Yes, that worked.

Thank you.

The reason that doesn't work is that you have to specify the value to remove
(and not the attribute name). You can conceive this as a kind of double
check althought it is actually necessary only when you want to remove one
specific value of a multi-valued attribute
