Re: AD Plugin for VMWare Orchestrator

I found a solution. The problem was extra information was being captured by orchestrators' command output. It was capturing the Result of Query, But Included a Line break/CR (Even when Piping Straight into DSRM).

Solution was to run 2 Seperate Commands: Run dsquery and then perform a regex to capture only the DN. Then run DSRM with that DN. Works great, and means I only need to supply the computer name and credentials for deletion.

Thanks heaps to qc4vmware for the assistance.

Here is the updated code:

var returnVal = false;

//Query AD For DN of Computer

var commandQuery = "dsquery.exe computer -name " + computer + " -u " + username + " -p " + password

//execute Query command

var cmd = new Command(commandQuery);

cmd.execute(true);

var output = cmd.output

//need to remove any extra garbage from the output

var DNs = output.match("\".*\"")

//Log Results for DSQuery

System.log("QUERY RESULTS");

System.log("Command: " + cmd);

System.log("Command result: " + cmd.result);

System.log("Command output: " + cmd.output);

System.log("DN Match is " + DNs[0])

var commandDelete = "dsrm " + DNs[0] + " -noprompt " + " -u " + username + " -p " + password

System.log("Delete Command : " + commandDelete)

//execute Delete command

var cmd = new Command(commandDelete);

cmd.execute(true);

//Log Results for DSRM

System.log("DELETION RESULTS")

System.log(cmd)

System.log("Command result: " + cmd.result);

System.log("Command output: " + cmd.output);

if (cmd.result == 0 && cmd.output.indexOf("dsrm succeeded") >= 0) {

  System.log("AD computer object deletion successful with DSRM.");

  returnVal = true;

}

else {

  System.log("Failed to remove computer object from AD!");

}

return returnVal;
