• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Creating AD user with profile & home directories

  I am using Excel VBA to create AD users from a spreadsheet of names. I can create the users in the correct OU and can add the home drive and profile path to the user object. However, unlike when creating the User from the "AD Users and Computers", the folders themselves and the relevant permissions are not created automatically. Creating the folders themselves will be no problem, but how can I then assign the correct security permissions to the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista XOML and Parameters

  Hi to all, I've noticed some postings saying that parameters cannot be declared in XOML and that a suggested route is to define a derived instance (in this case derived from StateMachine) and then declare this instance in XOML and then use XMLReader and runtime to create the instance. I've tried this, but cannot seem to get things to work. The XMLReader returns null when reading the XOML file (which is fine in VS). Ideally I would like to ...Show All

• SQL Server XML Result Set expects FOR XML

  I am working on a generally applicable ETL package using SSIS for a large Swedish insurance company. The configuration is driven by XML stored in the database, which means frequently reading XML into variables and doing transformations on those. Although I have it working right now, it is not entirely as I intended. It seems that if I have declared a typed XML column and use the XML Result Set in an Execute SQL Task with the following ...Show All
