Project: PhoneBook_ADsync_Init
The project PhoneBook_ADsync_Init initializes a number of variables. The values of the variables correspond with the network environment and contain the names of domains, OU's, database files and so on. All other projects of the UMRA application use variables names only. The initialization project is the only project you need to change to make the example scenario work in another environment.
Figure 2: Script of project PhoneBook_ADsync_Init
The main application project executes the initialization project to initialize all of the variables.
The following table lists the variables initialized by the project:
| Variable
|
Example
|
Description
|
%Domain%
|
tools4ever.local2
|
The DNS domain name of the domain that maintains all the user accounts.
|
%OU%
|
CompanyUsers
|
The name of the organizational unit that contains all the user accounts. In case of child organizational unit, use the following syntax: ParentOU/ChildOU etc.
|
%MiddleName%
|
|
The variable holds an empty string. This value is used in the name generation algorithm. Most default name generation algorithms that come with UMRA use the middle name to calculate the different names for the user account. In this example, the middle name is not used, but a default name generation algorithm is used. Therefore, the variable is set to an empty text value.
|
%ExportFileName%
|
F:\UMRA\...\
PhoneBookAdSyncLog.txt
|
The name of the text file that contains a summary of the results for each synchronization cycle. For each action, update – create- delete, a single line is added to this file.
|
%DatabaseFileName%
|
F:\UMRA\... \PhoneBook.mdb
|
The name of the (Jet) database file that holds the phonebook data.
|
%LdapBindingString%
|
LDAP://ou=CompanyUsers,
dc=tools4ever, dc=local2
|
The full LDAP name of used to search Active Directory. The name both contains the domain name (dc=tools4ever,dc=local2) and the organizational unit (ou=CompanyUsers). The LDAP binding string is used to query Active Directory.

Table 5: Variables initialized by initialization project PhoneBook_ADsync_Init
When the project is executed, the variables are initialized. Since the complete set of variables is passed to child projects, only the main project executes the initialization project.
