Post subject: BOXI UserList & Group Excel Export |
|
|
This topic is dedicated to the BOXI UserList & Group Extraction located in the BOB's Download (here)
A little description :
| Quote: |
What is it ? :
It’s simply an Excel file ith a little VBA code to extract from a CMS the complete list of user and the list of groups each user is member of. Quite useful when you need to check group membership…
Information provided for each user : id, login, full name, email adress, group list, flag user activated, flag is password to change, description and last login time.
It’s now possible to edit the CMS data, simply by modify entries in the Excel File. You need then to export your modification back to the CMS. Modifiables column are : Login, FullName, Email, Disabled and Description.
You need BO libraries to run the VBA ; if you have installed the full client it's OK.
|
History:
V3 (17/01/2008) – Added the Last Login Time data, and the possibility to modifiy the Login, FullName, Email, Disabled and Description column and sync it to the CMS.
V2 (04/01/2008) – Corrected the 1000 objects limit (hard coded to 1000000 objects) ; and the FullUser parameters, add of a topic for discussion
V1 (25/07/2007) – Original Release
Feel free to post here remarks on this tool, possible improvements and bugs...

Excellent file!
Tested on a large enterprise BOXI infrastructure (3000+ users) and it is working perfectly.

Hi,
I agree that this macro is excellent! However, my requirement is a little bit different. I want to be able to run this macro just for certain group. So, I modified the macro to pull in the users first and then filter it for a group.
However, what I am noticing is that the user object can bring in just 1000 rows. Thus it is providing me a partial resultset. I know that the query builder tool too has this limitation.
Will appreciate any suggestions regarding this.
Thanks in advance.
Toral. |

Hi,
For the V2 version i have just released, i have corrected this '1000 objects' problem. It's just a syntax problem inside the infostore query (add after the SELECT a 'TOP xxxxx' where xxxx is the number of row you want to get, and it's set by default to 1000).
For my tool i have hard-coded the limit at 1,000,000 row, i think it will be enough ...
Regards,

I downloaded the v2. But the button on the excel sheet is not clickable. Do I need to do some configuration before using the excel sheet?
THanks, |

I guess you need to "Enable Macro" since the code is an executable

Thanks. It works. That was some problems with my system.
BTW, just wondered the possibility of adding the alias column into the spreadsheet. It will be extremly helpful for our project to do some house cleaning. |

You are welcome to go into the code to improve it 
It's quite easy to add a column in the document

taskoriented, when you speak of alias column, what is the meaning ? The description ? The login name ?

| julienbras. Good job! It is glad to see the V3 out. I really like the tool. I am able to modify the code to get the alias information. In my environment, I created enterprise alias account from WinAD or LDAP account for troubleshoot purpose. So that I need to make sure all the enterprise alias are deleted afterwards. This tool is very useful for this purpose. |
