I don’t do a whole lot of playing with AD Backup/Restore ops and authoritative restores, I am a big fan of building systems such that they don’t allow people to delete objects accidentally in the first place. However, I have been working on a project that has as a portion of the work some user [...]
This is a great news story. People moving forward trying to figure out how to do something in space because of the desire to have the knowledge and be ready when we get to space, not because it was the only way they could do it…

I wonder if this could even have been attempted in [...]
A fellow MVP, Brian Desmond, suggested in a previous blog comment that I should “add a switch to filter inherited permissions”. I thought, hey, great idea… I can do better.
In AdFind V01.32.00 you will find the new switches -sddlfilter and -sddlNOTfilter. These switches allow you to specify a value for each of the [...]
In the blog entry Bug in Microsoft LDAP API? I documented a pain in my side I ran into with ldap_search_init_page. As I mentioned in the comments I began a conversation with one of the smart Microsoft Dev folks, specifically a Dev who previously did LDAP Client and now is a core dev. I am not [...]
I sent out the second beta for AdMod yesterday afternoon, I am expecting to release it to the general public within a week. The beta testers have not reported back any issues other than the general comments of the usage/help is huge… Note that is light help too, the tool now will do so much and [...]

In the course of my AdMod Beta tests I found a couple of bugs in AdFind and am correcting those as well. I also may have found a bug in the Microsoft LDAP API that I have pinged one of my good MSFT friends on. Whether it is a bug or not I need to [...]
…and boy did I find a heck of a memory leak in AdMod…
I admit, this is probably on the unusual side for tasks people would normally be executing but just the same I am glad that I found it so I can stamp it out. So much for CodeGuard because it never once warned me [...]
Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.

In my testing I realized that the power to quickly create a bunch of test users or test groups was cool but was a lot to type… Unfortunately there is a lot of info that is needed, but I did find a way to shorten it a little by making some assumptions.
I added a new [...]
Ugh… 2 hours of troubleshooting a crash that was occurring and it ends up being CodeGuard which is supposed to be protecting me from crashes…
“I was looking at my chart and it said that I was difficult. Why would they write that?”

A common question I see is “How do I clear all sIDHistory values in a domain?”. Microsoft does have a script on the support web site to accomplish this, you can find it at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;295758
I don’t have much direct experience with it but had folks that wanted me to modify it for them and heard complaints that [...]
“I don’t like cats.”
“Ever lived with a cat? No, I see you haven’t. How can you have the gall not to like something you don’t know anything about? Wait till you’ve lived with a cat, then tell me what you think. Until then… well, who told you you were entitled to an opinion?”

Slim sighed. “Kid, you’re going to die someday and so am I. And so is your pup. It’s the one thing we can’t avoid. Why, the ship’s reactor could blow up and none of us would know what hit us till they started fitting us with haloes. So why fret about whether your dog comes [...]
I heard two interesting quotes related to my utilities today… I thought I would share…
The first was from the ActiveDir.Org list…
“AdFind is a bit like a potato - you can do so many different things with it.”
- Mark Parris
The second was the first feedback from one of my AdMod V01.07.00 beta testers…
“I just looked [...]
I am Classic Rock Revisited. I revisit it every waking moment of my life because it has the spirit and the attitude and the fire and the middle finger. I am Rosa Parks with a Gibson guitar.

Yes! I finally got the beta out the door to a few beta testers. Hopefully the testers will beat the crap out of it and tell me where all of the issues are. In the meanwhile I will try to run through testing everything in various ways as well.
This is what September 13, 2006 [...]

Monster.com has been making some changes lately. Mostly I am not liking them. Please note, I am not actively seeking a job but I have my resume out there (as I have for >6 years) in the chance that someone says, hey that is the guy we need and has some really good offer to [...]
I have been wanting a deck on the back of the house now for about 5 years and have been actually in a position[1] to build one but putting it off for one busy reason or another for 2 years. I finally realized that I wasn’t going to be be able to build it myself [...]

So under Virtual Server, something I did and liked doing was using differencing disks. I would build a base image, say BASE_LHRC1 and then I would build multiple machines from that one disk via differencing disks. I am not seeing the option to build any type of differencing disks in VMWARE Server 1.0.0. Am I [...]
Korn Rocks!
The show was great. When they come to your area, check them out.
Going to the Family Values Tour tonight to see Korn. Cheer! Yeah I know you are jealous. You would be especially jealous if you saw our seats and parking… Corporate season passes…. Its raining today… too bad for the folks on the lawn…

x64 DCs are slowing getting rolled out to various companies. Most often I am hearing amazing things from an LDAP query standpoint which is great.
I am curious though how people are determining how many DCs they need? Are they just replacing their x86 DCs and leaving it at that or are they carefully watching [...]
So I used the Magellan on the Cincinnati trip. Since I was just going down I-75 it wasn’t truly necessary but it was a good test to see what I thought. Plus I have been using it to drive around town locally here in Michigan etc.
Overall I like the device, the screen is very [...]
Overall, I have to say that I was mighty impressed with Cincinnati. I had heard a lot of bad things about it but overall I found it to be a very pretty and extremely nice city.
On Thursday the customer took us out for a night on the town. We left the customer’s office we [...]

Failure to identify, understand, or realize your risk does not alleviate it nor cause it to disappear. Do *not* assume that the limits of your knowledge and capability apply to everyone. Do *not* assume that since some particular problem you are aware of has yet to have occurred means it can’t occur. Both fall well within the realm [...]
Most Ground Zero Rescue Workers May Suffer for Life
Nearly 70% of rescue workers exposed to toxic dust at ground zero became ill as a result, a study released yesterday said, citing a correlation between respiratory illness and recovery work after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks.

LOL. Yeah the AFA wishes they had that kind of power. That sounded pretty funny to me though as a title. Maybe it will attract some AFA folks to read this blog… if so… tend to your knitting people. If you don’t like that Ford and in fact all of the large car companies support [...]
Cincinnati doesn’t appear to be truck friendly… I had to go to down town Cincinnati for a week of meetings with a customer and some other folks I work with during my “day job” and since it is only a 4-5 hour I decided to drive instead of spending the time in the airport.
The nice [...]
Do you use the various “meeting” apps like LiveMeeting, NetMeeting, WebEx, Virtual Conference Rooms, etc to share you desktop to others during a meeting? Have you found this to be generally useful or generally painful? I am on the road this week and was sitting in a office today I have never sat in and [...]
Unfortunately Steve “Crocodile Hunter” Irwin’s life caught up with him. Fortunately for him he was doing what he wanted to be doing when it happened, we should all be so lucky as to die while we are doing what we love.
Some folks think he hurt Australia with his outlandish ways, I don’t think he did [...]
I recently received the September 2006 edition of TechNet magazine. Overall, good magazine, kind of boring, but relatively good info.
There is an article that seemed right up my alley… Lock Up Your Domain Controllers written by Steve Riley (aka Sterile Y). Steve is an interesting person; when you initially meet him you don’t know if he [...]
About this time of night when I am writing code or as I am now, documenting something, I start thinking about Caffeine boosts. I went looking and found a web site with mg of Caffeine per volume for various beverages. You can find it here -> http://wilstar.com/caffeine.htm. I took that table and normalized it to [...]
If you are serious about using AdMod I need you… When I mean serious I mean that when you have to change something in AD you start thinking of the AdMod switches to use, not what GUI tool to open. Do you do schema changes with AdMod in your lab on the fly? That kind of [...]
