Does anyone have any examples of setting up a connection manager in SSIS to read information from Microsoft Active Directory? I would like to retrieve a list of users and populate them into a SQL Server table.
Thanks!

Active Directory connection from SSIS
I'm trying to query against AD to grab some data. I've done this setup and got it to work at my location but can't get it working at one of my customers.
Per information I've found via this site I did the following:
Task: from SS2005, select data elements from Active Directory and populate in ODS (using an
SS2005 Package in SSIS)
- I created a linked server on the MS2005
- EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'ADSI', 'Active Directory Services 2.5', 'ADSDSOObject', 'adsdatasource'
- I then created the following View (in the Master DB):
CREATE VIEW viewADContacts
AS
SELECT [NAME],MAIL
FROM OPENQUERY( ADSI,
'SELECT NAME, MAIL
FROM ''LDAP://#######/ DC=####,DC=###''
')
The View created w/ no errors
- When I execute
select * from viewADContacts
I get this error:
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "ADSDSOObject" for linked server "ADSI".
Any thoughts on this error? Again, I did the exact same thing at my office (against my local AD) and it worked fine.
Thanks in advance

My date column showing null values when pulling from Excel
Hi gurus,
I have two date columns in the report and they are date format. My requirement is user downloadds the report and puts date values in those two fields and save into file share. I have to loop through those files and load those changes to a table. But while reading from excel source Datecol1 is reading fine but Datecol2 is showing as NULLs even though there are some dates in that column.
I am using excel source and queryying the source to get data from required sheet as:
SELECT * FROM sheet3$[A3:D50]
How can I retrieve my data column?
Please help me with this.

Active Directory Query and Variables may not change type during execution ERROR
I am querying Active Directory in an Execute SQL Task with the following query:
select sAMAccountName, displayname, title, telephonenumber, department, mail, l FROM 'LDAP://MyDCInfo' where objectClass = 'user' AND objectCategory='person' and mail = '*@*' and useraccountcontrol <> 514
I am looping through the results and created a Script Task to create a Message Box with one of the values. After the first loop I get the following error:
The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::User_Location" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.
Error: 0xC001C012 at Foreach Loop Container: ForEach Variable Mapping number 1 to variable "User::User_Location" cannot be applied.
It appears there is a NULL value and this seems to be causing the issue. I've tried changing my query to use COALESCE but that does not work. How can I convert NULLs to '' for the query above? Or is there another solution to this issue?

Processing data from ADO .NET Active Directory source fails
I want to get data from Active Directory and insert it into an SQL server table using SSIS.
Using this very helpfull link http://agilebi.com/cs/blogs/jwelch/archive/2007/04/07/retrieving-information-from-active-directory-with-ssis.aspx this is what I did:
1. Created an ADO.NET connection with .Net Provider for OleDb\OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Directory Services.
2. Created an OleDb connection with Native OLE DB\SQL Native Client.
3. Drop a Data Flow Task on the Control Flow.
4. Drop a DataReader Source that uses the ADO.NET connection on the Data Flow. I used a SqlCommand like
Select cn 'LDAP://DC=domainname,DC=com' Where objectClass='User'
Pushing the preview button displays a warning about the data type not being supported and that it will be converted to DT_NTEXT.
But then the preview displays records just fine.
5. Drop a OLE DB Destination that uses OleDb connection on the Data Flow.
6. Performed data conversions.
5. Connect the Data Conversion task and the OLE DB Destination and mapped the columns.
6. Execute the Data Flow Task.
This results in the following error, on the ADO .NET source:
Any ideas?

How to extract information from Active Directory
Hello,
I want to extract user information from Active Directory and dump the results to a table or text file using SSIS. I created a Connection Manager pointing to a domain Controller and a corresponding SQL Command with the attributes I need. When I Select Preview I get below error for each attribute I try to collect. When I acknowledge the error (Click OK) the preview displays the columns requested. However, when I wire it up to dump it to a text document it simply fails with the same error. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Warning at {480F2CFE-9691-46D6-8552-10A0B3028BD9} [ADO NET Source [75]]: The data type "System.Object" found on column "extensionAttribute1" is not supported for the component "ADO NET Source" (75). This column will be converted to DT_NTEXT.

SSIS Transfer from Active Directory
I hope this topic is appropriate for this forum. If not, I pre-apologize.
I have an SSIS package that takes data from active directory and dumps it to a table.
Here is the query I am using:
SELECT displayName, Mail, Title, physicalDeliveryOfficeName, description, telephoneNumber, department
From 'LDAP://ourserver'
WHERE objectClass='user' AND objectCategory='Person'
I am dumping it into a table on SQL Server where the columns are all of data type: NTEXT.
All columns come across GREAT except the column DESCRIPTION. We keep a piece of information in that column that is important and without it the SSIS is worthless. What is coming across in that column is the following:
System.Object[]
No values are coming across. It should be character data up to 10 in length.
Anyone see this or know of something that I can do to force the "real" data to come through?
Thank you in advance for any consideration you give.

How to Install SSIS
Can someone tell me how to install SSIS?
I've gone through Add/Remove programs, and attempted to update SQL Server 2005 but cannot seem to find the correct components to add, and since I cannot see the SSIS name in my Services panel, i assume it hasn't been installed.

Nulls created by SS Agent, but not IS
I'm moving Avaya CMS data from Informix to SQL Server. I have several data flow tasks - one per table, and some of them work fine in any circumstance, while other work fine when executed manually from Integration Services, but will produce different results when run via SQL Server Agent.
I created a new package just to test the root.hvdn table (phone data summarized by the half hour). Avaya says the table is supposed to be keyed on row_date, starttime, vdn (the internal number - similar to extension) and vector; in truth, there are some duplicates, but with valid (i.e, different, call data - probably for a call that crosses an interval). The row_date and vdn fields won't map directly, so they go through a converstion where the row_date converts to DT_DBDATE and the VDN to DT_STR.
The next step is to see which of the Informix records have been previously imported, so it goes through a lookup transformation matching the coverted row_date and vdn, along with the vector and start time against a SELECT DISTINCT of the same fields in the destination table (which eliminates the dupe keys). So, it there's no match, the Informix data goes through a record count to variable (for the sucess email).
The final step is an OLE DB Destination.
When executed through BIDS or the deployed package on Integration Services, the package runs fine. When I schedule it or run it from SQL Server Agent it runs, but inserts a zero length value into the vdn field - every other field is fine. In the version of the package with multiple data flows, some tables update correctly every time, and others have this same type of error. It's as though the conversion works correctly in BIDS, but when running from SQL Server Agent, the vdn is converted to a zero length value, which is a no match and results in an append of the entire record set, but without the vdn.
I've reduced the number of candidate records from Informix by limiting it to row_dates greater than yesterday. That just gives me fewer appends with zero length vdns. I don't want to truncate the destination table because I need to retain records that Informix has previously deleted - it maintains a two-month history, and I need to go back at least two year (eventually).
I'm at a loss. The only thing I can think of is that the destination vdn field is Char(7), but I'm not sure.
Suggestions? Insights?

Script Task
Hi all,
I have a script task in ForEach loop where it opens the flat file, writes the record in the file and then closes the flat file. Now the script task is able to write all the records (about 500,000) to a file in 45 minutes, but the ForEach loop keeps spinning for another 10 hours before completing successfully. In these 10 hours it doesn't write to the file but it does some kind of validation (visible in progress tab) for the script task.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

SSIS Login Error
I have an agent job that calls an SSIS package on Server-A, the SSIS job logs into a database on Server-B. The problem started when we updated our domain, when the domain was updated the named changed from dom1 to dm1. So when it runs now it gets the following error:
"Description: "Login failed for user 'DOM1\ssisserv'.". End Error Error: 2012-09-12 11:10:03.76"
Which makes sense because that user no longer exists as it is now DM1\ssisserv. Does anbody know/where to change this parameter?

Importing XML files into SQL Table
Hi Scholars,
I need some help on importing data from complex XML files into a SQL table in SSIS:
I was able to achieve this with a few XML files, which had a joining condition between different segments of an XML file. (As the XML file when browsed into an 'XML Source' of Data Flow Task, it shows up as different tables with some joining criteria on Id's).
But, for a few XML files I don't see any joining Id's between segments. I did some research in blogs and was suggested to use XSLT in 'XML Task' of Control Flow, followed by a Data Flow Task. But, I'm not sure how XML file can be transformed to XSLT. Can any one please help me out here.
Thanks
