ADSI question: put methods

[Daniel Berger]

Hi all,

ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32]
Windows XP Pro

I'm having a bit of trouble with the following code. I can get a
connection, and create the user, once I call setinfo. However, if I
try to use any of the put_ methods, I get an error:

require "socket"
host = Socket.gethostname

adsi = WIN32OLE.connect("WinNT://#{host},Computer")
user = adsi.create("user", "foo")
user.put_Description("test account") # Boom!
user.setinfo

However, if you replace the bad line with:

user.put("Description", "test account")

Then it works. Shouldn't it work either way?

Regards,

Dan
