External task and permissions

Victor2

Hi,

TeamSite: 6.7.1 SP1
OS: Windows Server 2003
WorkFlow: Workflow Modeler

I have a workflow that kicks off with an externaltask. ow this externaltask is to create an ActiveDirectory group. For this purpose a AD account say xx_teamsite has been created. This account has sufficient previliges to create groups in the Resource folder on AD. If i log onto the server with xx_teamsite and execute dsadd in the cmd window all works fine.

Now I was trying to have the external task to this. When the external task is activated the first thing I do is to perform SetOwner() to the xx_teamsite user otherwise the external task fails and makes a Callback.

In the external task when I run `dsadd params ....` I get an Acess denied.
I presumed that everything performed under a task with a given user is executed as the user!

Also I have tried:
Win32::AdminMisc::LogonAsUser("domain_x", "xx_teamsite", "password");
my $Name = Win32::AdminMisc::GetLogonName();
$Name shows x_teamsite.
But `dsadd params ..." still gives the same error.

Is there someone with any suggestions/hints ?

Kind Regards
