[AccessD] Active Directory Field List

You can't get the passwords of a user account from Active Directory, at
least not this way.  You have to 'crack' them.  Passwords are not stored in
an unencrypted format.  When a user changes their password, NT creates a
'hash' that is an encrypted string of text which can only be recreated with
their account, password and domain.

There are utilities out there to crack NT account passwords, the most common
would be L0phtCrack (spelled with a zero after the L)

Subject: [AccessD] Active Directory Field List


I am wanting to use Active Directory to update the passwords in a security
table I have. Does anyone know how I can get a field list?
   
  I can use the code below but it has certain fields. I don't know how to
get the password field because I don't know the field name.'
   
      Dim oConnection1 As Object
    Dim oCommand1 As Object
    
    Set oConnection1 = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    Set oCommand1 = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
    ' Open the connection.
    oConnection1.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"  ' This is the ADSI OLE-DB
provider name
    oConnection1.Open "Active Directory Provider"
    ' Create a command object for this connection.
    Set oCommand1.ActiveConnection = oConnection1
    ' Compose a search string.
    oCommand1.CommandText = "select name, displayname, userprincipalname,
mailNickname, telephoneNumber from 'LDAP://kvckc' WHERE
objectCategory='Person' AND objectClass='user' AND name='Lonnie Johnson'"
    ' Execute the query.
    Set rs = oCommand1.Execute
    '--------------------------------------
    ' Navigate the record set
    '--------------------------------------



May God bless you beyond your imagination!
