Active Directory Scripting

I am stumped.

I have sample code;
Set objDesktopOu = _
GetObject("LDAP://ou=" _
& "Desktops,dc=MyDomain," _
& "dc=com")

objDesktopOu.MoveHere _
"LDAP://cn=UserOne,ou=corp," _
& "dc=MyDomain,dc=com", _
& "cn=UserOne"

For moving a user from one OU to another via script. It doesn't work though. I keep getting errors that .MoveHere isn't something that can be used here.

I try the dsmove commands from a command prompt, and the move doesn't work that way either. Is my AD Schema not setup correctly, or do these methods not really work?

What am I missing?

It would be strange to have a mydomain.com...

That link is one of the places I found this code. msdn.microsoft.com has some as well.

None of them work. The MyDomain.Com is just an example. I put in my domain information and it just isn't working. I can scripting anything else I have ever tried with AD accounts, but can't seem to pull this off.

And it seems so simple.

The example as supplied looks incorrect.

As it stands, with mydomain, it's dead.

Bad example

Yes, I don't know how they expected this to work. From everything I see on msdn, you have to declare it as an IADSContainer, and I followed all their rules, and it still doesn't work.

I finally did get the dsmove command to work though.

That will do, I will just call the command from the script and go from there.

Thanks for looking.
