Perl Version: Activestate 5.6.1, Environment: Windows 2003 running NTEmulation
Problem: I'm trying to convert some VBScript code to Perl. Specifically, I'm trying to change the home directory path for some users.
Vbscript Code:
Set User = GetObject("WinNT://Domain/" & username & ",user")
User.HomeDirectory = "\\server\homeshare"
User.SetInfo
Perl Code:
$User=Win32::OLE-> GetObject("WinNT://wsi/$username", "user");
#Reports error - not allowed $User->HomeDirectory="\\server\homeshare"
+;
#Doesn't Work $update=$User->HomeDirectory("\\server\homeshare");
$set=$update->SetInfo;
How should the vbscript function, User.HomeDirectory = "\\server\homeshare" be written in Perl? Any help would be much appreciated.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
