UserAccountControl crashes SmartR V2?

    UserAccountControl crashes SmartR V2?

    I just loaded the new version of SmartR and was very happy to see that it now handles Primary Group membership in AD correctly.

    The problem is... I am trying to customize the Groups & Members report.  Here's the output I need:
       Name [CN]
       Description [description]
       Members [member]
           Name [CN]
           Description [description]
           User-Account-Control [userAccountControl]

    If I do not include userAccountControl, the report runs fine.  As soon as I add userAccountControl, it still creates a partial ReportSnapShot file and no output.  There are no error messages, but it sure looks like it crashes part way through.  I need to know if Members of the Groups are enabled or disabled, and userAccountControl provided that just fine with SmartR V1 (I created a customized .XML template).

    Any suggestions to get userAccountControl in V2 would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Jeff,

    Do you just want the raw UAC value (ie 512 or 514) or do you want the actual bit value of the Enabled flag (whether it is enabled or not)?

    You can modify the query to just return the accounts that are enabled (or disabled). 

    For example, this criteria will return only disabled accounts:

    (userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)

    Robert,

    Ideally I would like to get the UAC value.  That way I can display all accounts in the report, and flag the ones that are disabled (I have a formula I drop into the Excel spreadsheet which checks for the disabled bit).

    I never thought about using Excel to calculate/decipher values.  That is a brilliant idea!  Unfortuntely, SmartR 2.0 is handling the values correctly.  Will the workaround I gave work until we can get this fixed in SmartR 3.0?

    Thank you for the confirmation that the UAC value issue was not just me.  I played around with running separate enabled and disabled reports, but it was too much work to collate.  I went back to using SmartR 1 until V3 comes out.  This is a bummer of course since V2 fixed the bug where the AD Primary Group members are not returned, and in general seems like a better product.  Thank you for your help!

    Hi Jeff,

    We issued a patch for the UAC problem:

    SmartR 2.0.118 UserAccountControl/Int32/Int64 Hotfix
