Posted on by 267

Hi all :

  Although PAD has Active Directory Moduld to create user and modify user infomation , after I check this function , I  think it is not enouth , because , no manager , no proxyaddress ..... like this attribute . 

  So , I need to use active directory users and computers tools (traditional way to create user ) , I can creaet use basic ,but after I created user , I need to modify their infomation , just in this moment ....

   PAD can not recognize search function , no mater I use "new element " or "recording".........

   So , anybody can help to deal with this question ???

    Hi @JACK_LAI_1117 

    did you tried update user info? and is your active active directory working on load balancer if so try to access from the right AD address

     

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/actions-reference/activedirectory#updateuserinfo

     

     and may be steps

    if you've more control on AD and bot can access AD via powershell

    you can also try powershell commands  for more accessibilty

     

    Set-ADUser -Identity arhodes -OfficePhone "(012)-157-8923" -Office "A3.20" -Department Operations

    @Shujaath_Khan 

     

    About Active Directory module , I had checked !!! it is not enough , like "manager" and other attribute , not include on this module , so I try to use traditional way to create a new ad user .

     

    About powershell issue , in my office , IT policy is prohibit " execute powershell" , so .........this way is not a solution way .

    Hi 

    After two day to fight with PAD config in AD tools , I found the solution !!!

     

    In PAD "UI elements" , I modify config 

    JACK_LAI_1117_0-1657763620488.png

     

    and confirm with other config like this .........

     

    now I can get excel file content and in "For each " loops to create new user one to one !!
