Hi,

Does Kentico support updating AD user record ( phone #, locations, etc )? Is there any webpart or custom webpart in Marketplace for this function?

Urgently need a solution for this. Thanks!

Regards,

Edwin

RE:Active Directory
Hi,

Do you mean updating user information which was imported from AD? Or actually updating AD records? Please take a look at this article - it might give you the answer you are looking for. You can import users from AD and map the fields as necessary.

Please let me know if this is what you meant or if you have additional questions.

Thanks,
Sandro

Hi,

I need a tool that can actually updating AD records, maybe limited to certain fields only, like address, phone #, etc.

Thanks!

The piece that is included with Kentico is AD Authentication which is read only. You'd have to create your own web part or a simple page to do the work.

Hi,

Thank you for the clarification. As FroggEye suggested, you would have to create your own Web part by following an AD/C# Tutorial. We currently do not have anything out-of-the-box for this but you could make a suggestion on Kentico Uservoice.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Sandro
