Group Enabler .Net Error Message

[enjay]

@nickbro This is actually from the standalone version of Group Enabler, but this seemed a good place to post it.

 

When a teacher tries to enable or disable a group, they get the error message below; domain admins are unaffacted. I know you've fixed this for me in the past, but can't remember how...

[nickbro]

The usercard gets sent the domain admin's username and password when it firsts loads up, or should do if you have set the HAP+ AD Access User to a domain admin

[enjay]

Not using usercard, this is the standalone version running from a network drive...

[nickbro]

Ah, in that case they may be a setting in the config which sets the username and password. If that doesn't work, I would suggest upgrading to the user card

[enjay]

Can't see anything about usernames in the config file. User Card seems like slight overkill just for Group Enabler as we don't (currently) use room booking or helpdesk.

[nickbro]

You can disable those tabs in the User Card so they don't show

[enjay]

A spark of a memory has just hit me - isn't there some change I need to make in the AD to permit other users to manage it?

 

I don't really want to go down the whole road of User Card, as it seems like overkill to enable 3 teachers to manage their Controlled Assessment accounts.

[nickbro]

It does it via the User Card web service, so it's asking the HAP+ website to do it, and HAP+ will do it using the administrator's account.

 

To restrict the user card, you can create an MST to stop the user card installer creating a startup shortcut, then just add a start menu shortcut info for those staff

I've just found an old email from you, dating back to the first time I installed this, when you told me about delegate control on the OU container in ADUC - all working now! Thanks.

[nickbro]

Ah, right your still using the group enabler, yer that's delegate control
