IsInRole Question

[Bob]

I created a usergroup on my W2K AD domain server and called it MyCustomRole

I added my user to it named User Name fully qualified is Mydomain\Bob

I can see that My.user.name Is OK its Mydomain\Bob But when I run the line

If My.User.IsInRol e("MyCustomRole ") Then

it returns false.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I am not familar with AD.
But here is a link about a script which will list all the group certian
user belongs to.
You may try to run the script to see the MyCustomRole is in the list.
List User Group
http://www.rlmueller.net/List%20User%20Groups.htm

For detailed information about AD, I think you may try to post in the
newsgroup below.
microsoft.publi c.adsi.general
or
microsoft.publi c.win2000.activ e_directory

Thanks, very interesting but it does not solve my problem.

I need My.user.isinrol e("MycustomGrou p") to return true if a My.user is in
the group MyCustomGroup on my domain controller.
It does not work.

I can see that my.User is in the correct domain and my.user is a member of
administrators

If I use
If My.User.IsInRol e(ApplicationSe rvices.BuiltInR ole.Administrat or)

or use

If My.User.IsInRol e("Administrato rs")

It returns true which Is Ok, The user is part of the administrators group

The two above use builtin groups. I can get the correct result on any
built-in group on the domain. But when I add a new group to the domain eg
MyCustomGroup, then write

If My.User.IsInRol e("MycustomGrou p") it returns false

It looks like the IsinRole function only works with built-in roles.

Bob,
Have you tried qualifying the role name you pass to IsInRole?

If My.User.IsInRol e("Mydomain\MyC ustomRole") Then

See the following for more information:
