Setup

Download the archive and unzip it to the server where MOSS 2007 is installed. Then run setup.exe to install (*).
Go the site collection where you installed it.
Go to "Site Actions>Modify all parameters" and click on "Site Collection Features". If everything went well, you should find the feature you've just installed (Nomine SharePoint Tools).
Push the button "Activate" in front of it.
Create a new webpart page or modify the one you want and add the webpart "AD User Editor".
You're almost done!

(*) If the installer doesn't work:
- Open a console (Start menu>execute>cmd) and type in the following instructions:

cd <path_to_installer>
stsadm -o addsolution -filename NomineSharePointTools.wsp

- Go to your SharePoint "Central Administration" and click on the tab "Operations".
- There, you should click on the link named "Solution Management" under the title "Global Configuration".
- If everything went well, you should find the solution you've just installed (NomineSharePointTools.wsp).
- Click it, choose "Deploy Solution", select the Web Application you want it to be deployed to and then click "OK".

It's over for Central Administration. Now, It's time to go to the site collection you want to add the WebPart.

Go to its parameters (Site Actions>Modify all parameters).
Click on "Site Collection Features". If everything went well, you should find the feature you've just installed (Nomine SharePoint Tools).
Push the button "Activate" in front of it.
Create a new webpart page or modify the one you want and add the webpart "AD User Editor".
You're almost done!

Steev,
The issue is related to the xml config in the webpart:

Hello, I am having some trouble getting the WebPart to work.

I have installed it successfully and added it to a MOSS page, but I get an error.

I seem to get the same error whether I enter my DC creds or not.

The error is

"System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundExce ption: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowKeyNotFoun dExce ption() at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(TKey key) at NomineSharePoin tTools.ADUserEditor.findFromAccount Name(String Name) at NomineSharePoin tTools.ADUserEditor.selectUser"

Fairly noob at this so it's probably something obvious I am missing. I would appreciate any help you can give me as the WebPart is exactly what I am looking for.

Thanks.

Steev.

Excellent web part. See link for configuration gotchas I found. Main thing is to make the 'Edit current user only' property non-editable when modifying the web part in personal mode.

Hi, great toll but one real nice option is missing. There is no way to pass the current logged in in MOSS user's credentials to the AD. It'll be very nice to have that as setting administrator account into the WebPart configuration is not an option in most companies. Anyway, user by default can change some of his attributes in AD, and if passing his credentials automatically is possible this tool can be useful in more scenarios.
It's pretty simple to do it in WebApp, I think can be done in WebPart.
