Hallo,

I'm looking for an example how to submit xml requests to MPS by VB script code.

In HMC 4.5 documentation there is a reference to a script named "mpfcomcreateuser.vbs", but this file is nowhere to find:

For an example of fully functional Microsoft Visual Basic script code that automates the processes of creating the XML string and submitting it to the MPF COM Client, right-click the Mpfcomcreateuser.vbs script located in \Samples\Provisioning\scripts on Microsoft Hosting Solutions for Service Providers. Then select Edit on the menu that appears. You can also use this script to submit an XML request to the Provisioning Engine to create a new user account in Active Directory.

You only need to provide command-line arguments that specify the various parameters required to provision the user account. For script functional details, copy the script to your C:\ directory and then display script Help by running the following command string:

	Copy Code
c:\>cscript.exe mpfcomcreateuser.vbs /?

Does anybody have a VB script example to learn how it works?

(or could provide me the mpfcomcreateuser.vbs)

Thank you in advance

Kind regards

Marco

 

It would be something like this: 

Set objProvEngine = CreateObject("Provisioning.ProvEngineClient")

strNamespace =  "Hosted Exchange"
strProcedure = "CreateBusinessUser"
strRequest = ""
strRequest = strRequest & "<request>"& vbCrLf
strRequest = strRequest & "<data>"& vbCrLf
strRequest = strRequest & "     <preferredDomainController>dc01.domain.com</preferredDomainController>"& vbCrLf
strRequest = strRequest & "     <container>LDAP://OU=clientOU,OU=resellerOU,OU=hosting,DC=domain,DC=com</container>"& vbCrLf
strRequest = strRequest & "     the rest of the request data"
strRequest = strRequest & "</data>"& vbCrLf
strRequest = strRequest & "</request>"& vbCrLf

strRetValue = objProvEngine.SubmitRequest(strRequest, strNamespace, strProcedure)
    
Set objProvEngine = Nothing

Wscript.Echo strRetValue

It works at the first try. 

Thank you!

Kind regards
