Find Users E-Mail via SID using VBScript and Active Directory
- by er4z0r
Hi,
I am parsing log messages about changes to user accounts on a windows system.
I want to notify the user about the changes so I need to retrieve their personal
information (First,Last, E-Mail) from Active Directory.
I already found a way to retrieve the username but that is only via WMI and not ADSI:
Function FindUser(Message)
Dim objWMIService
Dim strAccountRegex
Dim objRegex
Dim objMatch
Dim strComputer
Dim objUser
Dim objShell
strAccountRegex = "(\%\{[A-Z,0-9,\-]*\})"
strComputer = "."
Wscript.StdOut.writeLine "Querying WMI to retrieve user-data"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objRegex = new RegExp
objRegex.Pattern= strAccountRegex
for each objMatch in objRegex.Execute(Message)
REM Wscript.StdOut.writeLine "Found an Account ID: " & objMatch.value
Dim strSID
strSID=NormalizeSID(objMatch.value)
REM Wscript.Echo "SID after escaping: " & strSID
Set objUser = objWMIService.Get _
("Win32_SID.SID='" & strSID & "'")
next
FindUser=objUser.ReferencedDomainName & "\" & objUser.AccountName
End Function
It works fine, but I would like to do it via Active Directory instead of going via WMI.
Can you help me?
