Hi,

I am trying to use User Exists activity to verify if the user exists in the company directory before I proceed with resetting the password. However, I don’t know what to put in Location or Value. I want to search the user in the company directory.

Thank you!

Hi,

I’ve checked that, however, I’m still not quite sure what to write on value, or where to get the value that I am going to put in there.

Hi @_pjflo

The location in the activity refers to the path in which the user exists. This location is the combination of Organizational Unit (OU) & Domain Component (DC). The location looks something like this:

OU=UiPath, OU=Departments, OU=Forum, DC=net.

This actually indicates the traversal of folders & subfolders in which the user is present.

If your objective is to check for the user’s existence using samAccountName, I suggest you to use the Get Objects by LDAP Filter activity. To this activity, you can pass samAccountName as filter parameter & OU location. It will return you an object array, using which you can decompile the user’s entire property.

I suggest you to check out this activity once & do let us know if you need any assistance on AD.

Hope this helps,
Best Regards.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. How about the Value field on User Exists? Where can I get that?

I’ll also try your advise.

Thanks again!

The value field is just a flag to indicate whether the user is present or not.

Create a new variable userExistCheck of type System.Boolean & pass the same variable in this field. It will store the result as True or False.

Hope this helps,
Best Regards.

I think you were talking about Exists property, not value.
