Hi, problem: when I create user or group I want to set permissions on OU for that user or group. But I'm getting error if I don't put some sleep 20-30 sec. Like user or group doesn't exist and I can't do translate. Like there is some problem with replication of data and I need to bind to DC on which I created user or group and do translate. But I don't know how. Can someone help or suggest something?? ERROR : Some or all identity references could not be translated. -- at System.Security.Principal.NTAccount.Translate(IdentityReferenceCollection sourceAccounts, Type targetType, Boolean forceSuccess) at System.Security.Principal.NTAccount.Translate(Type targetType) at serviceprovisioning.ActiveDirectory.NTaccountToSID(String strNTaccountName, String strADDomain) in C:\Users\darko\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\serviceprovisioning\serviceprovisioning\functions\ActiveDirectory.vb:line 237 CODE : Function NTaccountToSID(ByVal strNTaccountName As String, ByVal strADDomain As String) As SecurityIdentifier Dim identity As New NTAccount(strADDomain, strNTaccountName) line 237 --> Dim SID As SecurityIdentifier = DirectCast(identity.Translate(GetType(SecurityIdentifier)), SecurityIdentifier) Return SID End Function
Hi, problem solved. Now I can bind to DC on which I created user/group and set permissions on OU without errors. Here is the code, maybe help someone. Function GetADObjectSID(ByVal strObjectDNname As String) Dim DirEntry As DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry(strObjectDNname) Dim objSid() As Byte = CType(DirEntry.Properties("objectSid").Value, Byte()) Dim SID As New System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier(objSid, 0) Return SID End Function
