How can I set the option to allow Active Directory dialing from LDAP using VBScript?
Active Directory has a tab called Dial-In, and under that tab is a radio button with three settings:
Allow Access
Deny Access
Control access through remote access policy
I would like to write VBScript to take a username and return the settings for that user. (I am actually modifying existing VBScript, so I am forced to use this tool).
What's the best way to do this?

Here is the best solution I could think of. It is easy to change it to bring the setting to all users.
Main
Function Main
'Usage: cscript /nologo lookup.vbs mydomain username
Wscript.Echo CanDialIn(Wscript.Arguments(0), Wscript.Arguments(1))
Main = 0
End Function
Function CanDialIn(domainname, username)
'Take a user name and query whether they have permission to Dial in or not

Const ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE = 2
Dim objConnection
Dim objCommand
Dim objRecordSet
Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set objCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
objConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
objConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider"
Set objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection
objCommand.Properties("Page Size") = 1000
objCommand.Properties("Searchscope") = ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE
'Three possible values for msNPAllowDialin:
'TRUE = "Allow Access"
'FALSE = "Deny Access"
'EMPTY = "Control access through remote access policy"
objCommand.CommandText = _
"SELECT msNPAllowDialin FROM 'LDAP://dc=" & domainname & ",dc=com' WHERE objectCategory='user' AND sAMAccountName = '" & username & "'"
On Error Resume Next
Set objRecordSet = objCommand.Execute
if objRecordSet.EOF then
CanDialIn = "Could not find user " & username
else
if objRecordSet.Fields("msNPAllowDialin").Value = True then
CanDialIn = "Allow"
else
if objRecordSet.Fields("msNPAllowDialin").Value = False then
CanDialIn = "Deny"
else
CanDialIn = "Control"
end if
end if
end if
End Function
