Users and Computers snap-in. (contextMenu)
This works wonderfull on a single user but it does not
work when I select more than one user.
Can anybody help me dealing with that ??

Thanks a lot !

There have been no changes in the handling of context menus from Windows
2000 to Windows Server 2003. Multiselect property pages were added though.

Are you using MMC context menu extensions or Display Specifier context menu
extensions? The only difference between a single select context menu and a
multiselect context menu is the data object that gets passed to the
extension. If you are not able to handle the multi-select data object then
that may be why your context menu is not showing up.

I am using Display Specifier context menu.
I have noted that while selecting multiple users, right
clicking, and launching the function I wrote, the script
does not even begin to run (there is an output at the
first line of the code). And note that if there is only
one user selected ... the function works great.
And again ... thanks for your quick response.

This is a known bug. If you are specifying a script extension it will not
be shown when multiple objects are selected. If you use a Display Specifier
extension you can have the verb enabled on multi-select. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ext_menus_for_use_with_display_specifiers.asp
for more information.

Windows Server 2003 has additional capability.
