<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578858 by <a href="/recipes/users/4189629/">Fabian Mayer</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/doc/">doc</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf/">pdf</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python/">python</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/win32com/">win32com</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>The Script converts all doc and docx files in a specified folder to pdf files. It checks whether the provided absolute path does actually exist and whether the specified folder contains any doc and docx files. It does not travers the directory recursively. The script is not portable and runs only a Windows machine. Based on the experience I made, I recommend closing MS Word before running the script.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577904 by <a href="/recipes/users/4168327/">Kai Xia</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/itunes/">itunes</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/win32com/">win32com</a>). </p> <p>This script would do convert tracks from an audio cd into Apple lossless music using iTunes.</p> <p>When we have a bad cd rom or a bad disk, conversion would usually fail and iTunes would not complain about it. I usually have to check every converted track manually. This script would save the pain: it would check every converted track, if the duration of the converted track is less than the original track, the script would retry the conversion.</p> <p>This script is inspired by <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/users/4010550/">Fabien C.</a> 's <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/498241/">Recipe 498241</a>.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 303345 by <a href="/recipes/users/135654/">John Nielsen</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/sysadmin/">sysadmin</a>). </p> <p>This is the basic code to create an account in active directory that shows how to do things like set your own exension attributes, force a reset of the password when the user logs in, and set the home directory. It makes used of python's excellent COM support in win32com.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 303348 by <a href="/recipes/users/135654/">John Nielsen</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/sysadmin/">sysadmin</a>). </p> <p>Sometimes it is useful to know what attributes are available to you for an object in active directory. You cannot ask the object directly for that, instead you need to use the schema of the object. All of this is done with python's COM support using win32com. By default only attributes that have values are returned.</p>

Revision 3. </p> <p>If you want to talk to a MS exchange server, webdav offers a convenient way to do so. The code below shows the very basics for searching, deleting, and creating.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 298342 by <a href="/recipes/users/135654/">John Nielsen</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/sysadmin/">sysadmin</a>). </p> <p>Webdav is useful to get information on something in exchange. Often you need to know what you can ask for. Here is a simple recipe to get a list of the attributes available for a specific item.</p>
