fix

A 'Automation' trigger can be configured in Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) to ensure that the Full Name and the Display Name field, for all user accounts created, are in a certain format. A sample script called LastNameFirst.vbs is provided in the DRA Software Development Kit.

The script is located, by default, in the \Program files\NetIQ\DRA\SDK\Samples directory on all machines on where the DRA Software Development Kit has been installed. The LastNameFirst.vbs script must be configured as a pre-task trigger associated with the UserCreate and UserCopy operation.

The LastNameFirst.vbs script takes the data entered in the Last name and First name fields of a user account and updates the cn and displayName fields in the following format:

LastName, Fristname

In order to create an Automation trigger in Directory and Resource Administrator, please perform the following steps:

  1. Install the DRA Software Development Kit (SDK).
  2. Copy the LastNameFirstPre.vbs script located by default in the ...\Program files\NetIQ\DRA\SDK\Samples\LastNameFirst folder to C:\Scripts or any other folder.
  3. Logged in as a Built-inAdmin, launch the DRA MMC interface.
  4. Expand the 'Policy and automation management' node and select Automation Triggers.
  5. Select New in the right hand pane.
  6. Click Browse in the 'Associate to Operation' text box and select the UserCopy and UserCreate operations.
  7. Select the pre-task trigger radio button and click Next.
  8. Select All ActiveViews in the 'Apply to actions on objects included in' section.
  9. Select All Assistant Admin groups in the 'Apply to actions on objects included in'section.
  10. Click Next.
  11. Select Script for the File type and input the path to the script in the DO file path (ie.  C:\scripts\LastNameFirstPre.vbs).
  12. Click Next.
  13. Click Next.
  14. Specify a trigger name andclick Next | Finish.
