Project Ideas

Is anyone still alive in here?

I would possibly be interested in contributing as a developer. I have been working on my own vb.net application to mass create users.

I have completed most of the major functionality including:

Reading a CSV file
Creating the user object
Creating home folder
Sharing home folder
Setting folder permissions

I started developing it mainly as a mental exercise and a first project in vb.net, so I'm sure the code is not 100% optimised, it does however work.

well i know several people where looking into it but died a death due to various reasons...

So if you want to take mantle and lead it then do so best way is add gnu license to code and upload it here.

Then once done that I will sort out setting a proper cvs system up.

I'm going to upload something on Monday once I have finished debugging it.

Hi,

Hopefully what I have attached will help get this project kick started.

When first running the program you will have to enter the domain controller name and your domain name (school.net). The reason for this is all to do with child domains

Written in vb.net

lol just figured out I can not attach zip files to my posts help!!!

Cheers

We've employed someone parttime to integrate CMIS with AD. Accounts will be created in SQL by admin staff then script will run nightly to hook into SQL and populate AD, Its SQL to AD so should be adaptable for SIMS, if you're familiar with the database structure and don't tell capita. When a student leaves the account will be disabled automatically. Script will also look at a CSV to add acounts from if we need emergency accounts. I've been given ok to GPL it, so will keep you posted. Its likely I'll post the script in parts rather than an entire program as it has been designed specifically for our architecture. It may not be a complete working solution, as it will need tailoring to individual sites. (its in VBS and I have some python components to add things like mail aliases and zimbra accounts from AD). We're in beta testing phase now so should be ready to go in few weeks, so far its looking v.good.

What I provide is an interface for the group project. It's easy interface to AD. I know it’s a bit rough around the edges but hey give should get us started.

I’m looking for people to undertake the following tasks:


Code the user panel
Add
Delete
Update details
Move user in AD
Reset Password
List user details
Open home drive / profile

Code the computer panel
Remote System Information
Remote Log Off
Remote Shut-Down
Remote Restart
Remote gpupdate
RDC launcher
VNC launcher
Move Computer in AD
Remote Logon

Code the mass panel
Mass move of users/computers in AD
Mass delete of users
Mass add of users
Mass Reset Password
Mass remote Log Off of computers
Mass remote Shut-Down of computers
Mass remote Restart of computers
Mass remote logon

Code AD panel
Search
Search for not used in x amount of days

I know all of the above is possible and there are plenty of help on the web. I can where needed provide help.

If we work together I’m sure we can turn out an application to help all schools and save them money.

please delete
