I need your help

[uk101man]

I’m coding a program called SimpleAD...guess what is about.

 

Basically it's gotten too big for a one man show and need some help:

 

Coders

Testers

Documentationers

 

The program is written in vb.net (2005) and I could do with some different eyes to look at the code and come up with some ideas. What I have at the moment is:

 

I'll post some screen shots latter on.

I dont code in vb.net but I will by all means help you test and document the system.

I tend to write in VB6 but I'll have a go

I dont do VB.Net . I tend to do c#.Net but it's all part of the same framework. I dont mind having a look, time permitting. I'm supposed to start my masters project soon in .NET so might be good as a refresher

[webman]

I'll volunteer my help with documentation.

What exactl within AD are you trying to do? If its password and simple user manipulation of have a lot of older vb6 code that could be converted to the task?

I do have a C# version which I think I'll upload instead of the VB.NET one.

 

wesleyw:- I have all the code I need. Everything is working...well I think it is, but thanks for the offer.

 

What I'm after is some people just to give me a hand tidying things up and maybe coming up with a different way of doing taks, i.e. at the moment I've hard coded how the usernames are created (firstname.surename).

 

I've just ironing out a few bugs with the export systems info to Excel as I have just upgraded to Office 2007 and also Vista

Sign me up for testing.

Some screenshots of SimpleAD. I know it does not look like much at the moment..but it will when I have had time to work on it.

My current SimpleAD can:

 

Add users

Delete users

Update user’s details

List and export users whose password has expired

List users who have not logged in for x amount of days

Auto log on PCs

Get system info from PC's and export to excel

Double click on a PC for and VNC session or RDP session depending on settings

Restart/shutdown PC's

Schedule disk defrag on PC's

 

 

The following needs work:

Remotely deploy software via MSI

Better username creation, at the moment I user firstname.surname

Wake PC up

 

 

I'm off to sort my virtual server out..I think I toppled it over running 5 servers

Hi,

Remote system info

Export said info to Excel - Requires Office 2007

Shut down, Log Off, Restart PC's force or non force

Open the local C drive

I plan to have the following working on the next release:

As you can tell i'm working on the computer side of AD at the moment.

Simple AD .0002

Clear Printer Queues ( not tested )

 

Known bug : If you have two domain controllers AD is not found. I will try to fix this for version .0003

 

Also I plan to tidy up the computer context menu as well as the toolbar menu.
