AD Import

[sandeep0308]

Hello I am trying to install Active directory and import all the users and roles into Kentico, Could anyone walk me through the steps you followed to accomplish it? I installed ADImport.exe and stuck at the errors I have been receiving. I don't see ADImport tool in Kentico website though, since it's a new tool there is no clear explanation I could find in any of the sites.

Hi @sandeep0308 , have you read the documentation? https://github.com/Kentico/ADImport/wiki What kind of errors are you getting? Can you share the messages / screenshots with us?

Hi @petrsvihlik Thanks for prompt response. After running ADImport.exe from the downloaded folder, I try establishing Database connection and clicked next, it's throwing these two errors. I tried this using both trial and licensed version.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF. To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1. Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging. To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

** JIT Debugging ** To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section. The application must also be compiled with debugging enabled.

For example:

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer rather than be handled by this dialog box.

See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Could you verify that you have extracted all the files including the CMSDependencies folder?

Hi @sandeep0308, is the issue still valid or did the last comment help you to fix it, please?

[hvanpelt1129]

I'm having the same issue after upgrading from Kentico 9 to 10. I do have CMSDependencies folder and have verified the the Mono.Cecil.0.9.6.0 folder and Mono.Cecil.dll file is there.

I'm running into the exact same error as @sandeep0308 . I tried on the web server (Windows Server 2012R2) and also on my local machine (Windows 10). I ran the .exe as administrator, as well. Neither way worked. I receive this error when I selected the database (after establishing a SQL Server connection). I am running the v10.0 version as that is the version of Kentico installed.

Good Morning @twbocklertorch

What worked for me was to recompile the code.

[twbocklertorch]

That worked. Thanks!
