AD linking > packet groups

Thanks for your reply,

this tip works very well

but doesn't rely on Active Directory.

First, you need to assign a group to the computer with the same name as on WAPT. Run the console with an admin account on the domain that has access to groups, etc.
Then repeat the procedure I described earlier.

Don't hesitate to ask if you need help !

Hello and thank you for your reply, Floflobel.

I'm not sure I fully understand your solution.
I created a WAPT group and added my machine to it to avoid the known bug.
Once in the group, I tried to add it to the AD groups.
Is there something I've misunderstood in your post?

I don't currently have a WAPT server installed.
But if I find a solution to the problem, it might still be possible to try this approach again.

So, I'm waiting for your feedback to see if it's worth testing again.

Sincerely,
Zeyf

Hello,

my procedure probably seems strange to you, but it actually works perfectly.
If I don't assign a "dummy" group to it first, the relationship with Active Directory doesn't work.

Make sure you create the group on Active Directory and assign it to the PC in question.

Hello,

I'm also having the same problem...
my machines are all members of the "default" group (without packages) in the WAPT console.
I created a waptcommun group (with 2 test packages) and I created the waptcommun group in Active Directory with my machines as members.
When I right-click on a machine in the console and then select "Add AD groups as package dependencies," the result is 0 machines modified.

Can you help me?
v. 1.3.9.0

Thank you.

Perhaps it's due to a bug if there's only one group.

Could you try modifying the file c:\wapt\waptdevutils.py by replacing the get_computer_groups function with this one:

Code: Select all

def get_computer_groups(computername):
    """Try to finc the computer in the Active Directory
        and return the list of groups
    """
    groups = []
    computer = active_directory.find_computer(computername)
    if computer:
        computer_groups = computer.memberOf
        if computer_groups:
            if not isinstance(computer_groups,list):
                computer_groups = [computer_groups]
            for group in computer_groups:
                # extract first component of group's DN
                cn = group.split(',')[0].split('=')[1]
                groups.append(cn)
    return groups

Hello,

I have two groups of workstations on my Active Directory.
When I change the function, I get a new error:
exceptions.AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'split'.

Thank you.

SO...

Code: Select all

def get_computer_groups(computername):
    """Try to finc the computer in the Active Directory
        and return the list of groups
    """
    groups = []
    computer = active_directory.find_computer(computername)
    if computer:
        computer_groups = computer.memberOf
        if computer_groups:
            if not isinstance(computer_groups,(list,tuple)):
                computer_groups = [computer_groups]
            for group in computer_groups:
                # extract first component of group's DN
                cn = group.split(',')[0].split('=')[1]
                groups.append(cn)
    return groups

Yes, it works with this change!
Will this change be taken into account in future updates?
Or do I need to keep this information for manual modification?

Thank you.
