I am a little confused on why I can not detect an object that does not exist
with a try and except. If I understand ADSI correctly from what I have read
you do not create these objects but rather get them. They already exist. I
believe if I do the equivalent in VB I would generate an error when I try to
get an object that does not exist (can not find). What have I done wrong?
I have included the function below that works in ever respect but detecting
incorrect NT Domain Names (objects that do not exist) . Any tips, insight or
comments would be welcome by this newbie.
Thx
def CheckNT4(header, all):
adsi = win32com.client.Dispatch('ADsNameSpaces')
try:
nt = adsi.GetObject('', "WinNT://"+ frm.NTName) #----->I need some
type of try/except to detect incorrect NT Domain Names
except: print "Domain name failed" # this does not detect a problem
nt.Filter = ['user']
try:
oSID = win32com.client.Dispatch('ADsSid')
except:
MyUsers = [ eauser for eauser in all if eauser[GetPostion(header,
'STATUS')] is '']
for ea in MyUsers:
ea[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] = 'FailNT'
ea[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] ='Can not find ADsSid'
MyUsers = [ eauser for eauser in all if eauser[GetPostion(header,
'STATUS')] is '']
intcnt = 0
for user in nt:
for ea in MyUsers:
if string.upper(user.Name) == string.upper(ea[GetPostion(header,
'OLDNTLOGON')]):
frm.MyProgress.Update ( intcnt, 'Found NT user and SID : ' +
user.Name )
intcnt = intcnt+ 1
if user.AccountDisabled:
ea[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] = 'FailNT'
ea[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] ='Disabled'
else:
if ea[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] is not '':
ea[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] = ''
oSID.SetAs (5, "WinNT://"+ frm.NTName + '/' + user.Name)
ea[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] = 'PassNT'
ea[GetPostion(header, 'Nt4Sid')] = oSID.GetAs(1)
for user in [ eauser for eauser in all if eauser[GetPostion(header,
'STATUS')] is '']:
user[GetPostion(header, 'STATUS')] = 'FailNT'
user[GetPostion(header, 'COMMENT')] = 'NoNt4Account'
