Apply Active Directory object property permissions to many users

1 New Member
I'm using one of the custom attributes to hold a user's secondary email address and have written some Classic ASP code to write this into the user object and read it out etcetera.

This all works fine under my account, a domain administrator user, so I've created a new user set up only for this job to improve security. I'm able to check the Write Custom Attribute X user property permission on a per user basis which is good as well.

However as I plan to write to hundreds of users I want to assign this permission to an Organisational Unit or for example the User group but unfortunately the effective permissions show that this does not enable writing the property and the code fails. I think it works fine for regular object permissions but not for the properties, what am I doing wrong?

Any help is appreciated.

My goal, somehow, is to populate a dropdownlist with all the user names in active directory. I don't even know where to begin, really. I added a reference to System.DirectoryServices so I could use the System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory namespace. I don't even know if this is the right way to go as I can't seem to find anything in that namespace that would help me query active directory for names. I can't use an LDAP query...

Is there any way using AD to set object level permissions down to the object level in MS Access, the way it is done internally via the Access security workgroup? Does Active Directory offer the functionality to assign certain permissions on certain objects (tables, queries, forms, etc) within an Access database to certain users or can this only be done via MS Access internal object level permissions via mdw file?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
