Troubleshooting: The server is unwilling to process the
request
Introduction to Error Code 80072035
This error, code 80072035 occurs when you execute a VBScript. My
suggestion is you are trying to set a user property which the security policy
forbids. This is a tricky error because it may be a policy on the server,
rather than a pure scripting error, which halts
your script. Cameron Anderson also points out that it could be that you are trying to rename a user that already exists.
The Symptoms You Get with error 80072035
When you execute the script you get a message box like this (See diagram).
The VBScript does execute as you hoped.
The Cause of Code 80072035
One possibility is that you trying to enable or 'set' a user account.
The problem is that the account must have a password and none is provided.
Another possibility is that your domain policy requires a complex password. In terms of pure troubleshooting, the big
clue is the Line: number. Also Char: 5 helps to pinpoint the error.
Guy Recommends: Solarwinds' Free Bulk Import Tool
Import users from a spreadsheet. Just provide a list of the
users with their fields in the
top row, and save as .csv file. Then launch this FREE utility and match
your fields with AD's
attributes, click and import the users. Optionally, you can
provide the name of the OU where the new accounts will be born.
There are also two bonus tools in the free download, and all 3 have been approved by Microsoft:
Add a set password instruction to the script. Even try a complex password such as P@$$w07rd Alternatively, reset
the domain policy and lessen security just while you run the script. In this case you
could change the UserAccountControl value to 514, just to see if the script
completes successfully.
Cameron Anderson also points out that it could be that you are trying to rename a user that already exists; if so, choose a different name. In this scenario, also look at
the sAMAccountName.
Example of Script showing Code 80072035
objUser.SetInfo This is where
the error is to be found.The line is indented 5 characters so
the problem is with the first word = objUser.
Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://rootDSE")
Set objContainer=GetObject("LDAP://cn=Users," & _
objRootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext"))
intAccValue=512
Set objOu = GetObject("LDAP://cn=Users," & _
objRootDSE.Get("defaultNamingContext"))
For each objUser in objOu
strUname=objUser.get("name")
If Left(strUname,4) ="User" Then
objUser.Put "userAccountControl", intAccValue objUser.SetInfo Wscript.Echo strUname
End if
next
Wscript.Echo "Users Enabled"
