Sync POA users with AD and give default password.

mediaalchymia

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone might have a script or be able to script for Safeguard Enterprise an automated task to synchronize POA users with a certain OU in Active Directory and give them a default password if they are new and leave them alone if they are existing.

Thank you in advance for your time,

Benjamin C.

    from my stash... recommend using Powershell for customizing. I do not support script issues, use google for that.

    You can write up a VBscript to do these things too... but I am a powershell man even though VBscripting has its advantages I stay true to the native langauge.

    *Also* you can use AutoIT which can run scripts to do certian things. anything involving automation is going to require a rewrite of certain functions to cater to the requirements. So my template is generic but versitile.

    Hi Benjamin,

    if you want to distribute administrative Users to all SafeGuard Enterprise clients in a domain / all clients under a certain Organizational Unit, I'd recommend to use so called "<POA>"-Users, that can be created in the SafeGuard Enterprise Management Center (on the "Users and Computers" tab, select the <POA> note, to create new groups and users).

    Please see KBA http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/114273.aspx or SafeGuard Enterprise Administrators manual (sgn_60_h_admin_help.pdf - "15 POA users for POA logon") for details.

    Regards,

    Yes, I am using the <POA> for that purpose. My need is for a script or option to synchronize these users from an OU that is dynamic, and assigning a default password for new users.

    In our environment we utilize Roaming Profiles very heavily and need to make sure at deployment that all members of an OU are able to log in to each computer in that department.

    mediaalchymia,

    Was the script I provided of no use?

    Yes, it is of use and would be perfect for my needs, but it will only add users to the OU on AD, I am looking to sync them to the CN=POA in Safeguard from an already existing user account in AD.

    Is this also possible with your script?

    Thank you for your time.
