Installing an Oracle ODBC-driver

Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=104113 and download the Microsoft Connector for Oracle V1.2 that fits your OS. Here we’ll be using MicrosoftSSISOracleConnector-15.0.2000.215_x86.msi.

MicrosoftSSISOracleConnector-15.0.2000.215_x86.msi is the 32-bit version of the ODBC-driver.
MicrosoftSSISOracleConnector-15.0.2000.215_amd64.msi is the 64-bit version of the same ODBC-driver.

Install MicrosoftSSISOracleConnector-15.0.2000.215_x86.msi on the machine that needs to connect to Oracle.

When the installation is done you should be able to go to create an ODBC Data Sources with the below new Oracle ODBC driver.

Now you can enter the information needed to get access to Oracle-server through ODBC.

If you don’t have or can’t get access through a TNSNames Connection. Then you can go to another location/server/PC and you TNSPing to get the information needed to use Standard Connection.

NB! It is possible to set e.g. the Initialization String in the Advanced-tab.

Get information about users in AD-group

The below batch-code (.bat) will ask you for an AD-group. It will then run the command net group for the entered AD-group. Paste the result to a temporary text file and open that text file in Notepad for you to view and search through.

@echo off
set /p gname="Enter groupname: "

net group /domain %gname% > C:\temp\groupoutput.txt
notepad C:\temp\groupoutput.txt

Get information about users AD-groups

The below batch-code (.bat) will ask you for an AD-user name. It will then run the command net user for the entered user. Paste the result to a temporary text file and open that text file in Notepad for you to view and search through.

NB! It is also possible to use the command gpresult, if the command net user doesn’t work for you.

@echo off
set /p uname="Enter username: "

net user /domain %uname% > C:\temp\useroutput.txt
REM gpresult /user %uname% /R > C:\temp\useroutput.txt
notepad C:\temp\useroutput.txt
