Posting code to help site??

[lschafroth]

I belong to the experts-exchange.com site and have a paid registration. They are very good at helping me with code and etc.

I want to use them for help in converting the AD Connector vbs code to linux/darwin to use with MAC's and Linux distros.

I asked for the help but told them I could not post the code until I found out whether or not I am allowed to do that. I know it is free for anyone to see as it is now. All they have to do is download the ISO or vmware image and install the AD 14 day trial and there's the code, but...

I want to get permission from here first. It is the client side script, short and sweet. Not any of the UT code itself.

Thoughts??

experts-exchange.com? You mean that blight on google that thwarts any and all searches for information that is freely available?

I know, that used to tick me off, but my coworker pays for it and it has been invaluable at times.

thank you!!

I already have the commands for the current logged in user, the computer name done. We dont really use domains, but I could return the local domain name I suppose.

PS I would cancel the subscription since you can get the answers now, but heck, I'm not paying for it. hehe

Come on !!!! Don't tell them you can do that... I use it all the time! If you keep telling that, they will block it ...

I think they were required by google to add the answers if they wanted to continue to get good page rankings.

OK, I've been looking at the code and I am NO programmer by any means.

I understand the servername arguments section. I assume this is done to test the script with command line argument to test another server address otherwise it defaults to the UT that created the script? Is this correct?

command = URL_PREFIX+"://"+ServerName+"/adpb/registration?username="+strUser+"&domain="+strDoma in+"&hostname="+strHostname+"&action=login"
'WScript.Echo command
AJAX.Open "GET", command
AJAX.Send ""

the above code is confusing me. Wouldn't you want to do a POST instead of a GET to update the UT server with the client info? Does the UT know what the client information is just by seeing it GET the information and that is why you only do a GET function?

I assume the .send "" is the same as .send(null). What is the function of the .send "" in this scenerio?

I have most of this script written for the bash shell in Darwin. I will test it Monday. It wasnt that difficult once I knew what each part was doing. Google was my friend. (not experts-exchange this time)
