Hello everyone,

Being a veteran programmer for all of 5 months, tis' a shock I'm having issues with such a minesquel task.. *kidding*

Okay, here is the situation.  We have users for our entire company setup in Active Directory.  When a person within the company changes positions, they aquire a new username.

Example: whomever the Auditing Manager is, position always uses the username: AUD15

What I need to do, is make sure that whenever a username is updated manually, in AD... something will happen

this could be anything from a web service being triggered, an AS400 table/file being updated, a vb.net program being called, or a batch file is run.

The reasoning for this, is so that whenever a user changes positions... we can update our database information accordingly (and a few other tasks as well).  But the first step is finding a way to trigger an event, every-time the username is updated.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated... thanks,

I do this the opposite way.  When someone updates the users information via the Intranet, I then update their Active Directory information via automation.  Take a look at this for info on AD functions...
