CreateImportPendingGroup

Creates a “pending import” group in the zone.

Syntax

IGroupInfo CreateImportPendingGroup (string source, DateTime timestamp)

Parameters

Specify the following parameters when using this method.

Parameter	Data type	Description
source	String	The location of the source data for the group to be imported.
timestamp	DateTime	The date and time at which the data was retrieved.

Return value

The newly created pending import group object.

Discussion

Group profiles in a “pending import” group object needed to be mapped to Active Directory groups before they can be used. Groups in this state are normally imported from NIS domains or from text files and stored temporarily either in Active Directory or XML files until they are mapped to Active Directory accounts. For more information about importing and mapping groups, see the Administrator’s Guide for Linux and UNIX.

Example

The following code sample illustrates using this method in a script:

...  
'Specify the zone you want to work with  
set objZone = cims.GetZone("ajax.org/UNIX/Zones/test_lab")  
'Create the Pending Import group object  
set objPendGrp = objZone.CreateImportPendingGroup("script file", now)   
objPendGrp.Gid = 500  
objPendGrp.Name = "users"  
objPendGrp.Commit  
...
