"Groups and Users" is the name of the OU in this case. It turned out later that my problem was that for some reason AD uses an 8-byte long integer for the date, and it does have methods associated with it, HighPart and LowPart, which aren't used in this case. I think that's why it was showing up as a hash.

This is the first issue, and it looks [below] like you have solved it. If you get anobject reference as return data, the best thing to do is eplore it. > The "hash" has no keys, so I think this might be a mismapping of the > data type, but I'm not sure. It sounds, since you do get an object in return, like the problem is in the creation of the object. One thing I noticed is that you use an identifier including spaces, without quoting it: my $ADUser = Win32::OLE->GetObject("LDAP://$dc/OU=Groups and Users,OU=HQ,DC=domain,DC=com") || die; I'm not familiar with AD specifically, but in Windows in general, such long identifiers do need to be quoted. It could be that that particular module doesn't require internal quoting; that it just looks for the next parameter name, but it might be worth trying: my $ADUser = Win32::OLE->GetObject("LDAP://$dc/OU=\"Groups and Users\",OU=HQ,DC=domain,DC=com") || die; I'm also wondering about having multiple OUs [Groups and Users, HQ] in the constructor. Is the constructor designed for that? Joseph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
