Querying Domain objects with a computer thats not joined to the domain

[daisydanxu]

I'm trying to run the instructions from

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyad

which stipulates to use the below command to query another domain

from pyad import * pyad.set_defaults(ldap_server="dc1.domain.com", username="service_account", password="mypassword") user = pyad.aduser.ADUser.from_cn("myuser")

However when i do so, i get the following error

WARN: unable to connect to default domain. Computer is likely not attached to an AD domain Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users//Documents/Projekt1/Demo.py", line 6, in user = pyad.aduser.ADUser.from_cn("myuser") File "C:\Python\lib\site-packages\pyad\adobject.py", line 135, in from_cn return cls(adsearch.by_cn(cn, search_base, options), None, options) File "C:\Python\lib\site-packages\pyad\adsearch.py", line 10, in by_cn raise Exception("Unable to detect default domain. Must specify search base.") Exception: Unable to detect default domain. Must specify search base.

Process finished with exit code 1

How do i fix this

it seems when installing pyad, it failed to install many modules. The following errors i recieved

@daisydanxu Looks like you're trying to build with a Python2 egg. Instead of using pip/PyPI to install, try cloning the repo instead and install from there. See #58 and #60

I still get the : unable to connect to default domain. Computer is likely not attached to an AD domain error while on VPN which should be able to contact main DC. Any ideas on this one?
