When the enterprise administrator, Joe Worden, upgrades the Windows NT 4.0 domain to Active Directory, all users and groups are migrated to the Users containers in the Fabrikam domain. Joe can now move those users and groups to the appropriate organizational units. An object can also be moved between related Windows 2000 domains using ADSI.
In the following code example, Joe moves jeffsmith
to the Sales organization.
[Visual Basic]
Set usr = salesOU.MoveHere("LDAP://CN=jeffsmith,CN=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com", vbNullString)
The IADsContainer.MoveHere
method takes the ADsPath of the object to be moved and the new
object name (RDN). To keep the same name, you can specify NULL
(vbNullString) for the bstrNewName parameter. To
rename the object when it is moved, specify the new relative
distinguished name for the bstrNewName parameter. For
example, to move jeffsmith to the sales organization and rename the
jeffsmith object to jeff_smith in the
same operation, Joe would execute the following code:
[Visual Basic]
Set usr = salesOU.MoveHere("LDAP://CN=jeffsmith,CN=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com", "CN=jeff_smith")
