Hello,

I try to create a job to list unchanged account in an UO of our AD.
I create a job with a "List AD Object Path" task.
Simple filter doesn't allow me to check the 'whenChanged' field, so I try to use the custom filter option...

But it seems my knowledge is too much limited it's the reason why I need your help !

I use this query : (&(whenChanged<=20091231000000.0Z))
And the result is : Exception in Task: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object[]' to type 'System.String[]'.

How can I do to collect my unchanged accounts's list ?

For your information, I'm using VC 5.6.0 on a W2k3 server (and AD is on an other 2k3 server)

Tkx for your help !

Hi,

please install this attached version and tell us if it works better.

Thanks.

ok, thanks.

I will try this version and inform you of the result.

Well, it seems to work.
But at the end of my account list, I've got other lines :
§
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
System.Object[]
10
11
12

6
7

9
System.Object[]

...etc...

Thanks, we will build a new version, this was some debugging information that was left there.

Ok, I will wait for the new release !

I am attaching the latest. You need to uninstall current first. Your settings will remain.

Ok, thanks.
The only thing is service which cannot run with local system account.
I have to use an other account to run it, it is not a problem for us, it's just for your information.

You mean it cannot start or that a specific function or Task does not work with SYSTEM account?

Windows Service cannot start.
All task runs correctly, I just have to launch Visual Cron service with an other user account.

Do you get any errors in the event log that says why it can't start?

Windows says :

Unfortunately, this could be anything. Normally, installing and running as SYSTEM is not a problem. I guess your administrators have applied some specific required permissions.
