We can appreciate your problem but hopefully you can appreciate that it is YOUR problem and that we have our own problems we need to appreciate more as that is what we were given resources to do.       – Me Rating 3.00 out of 5

So your LDAP traffic is encrypted but your app isn’t asking for it…

by @ Monday, March 26th, 2007. Filed under tech

I am playing with a new utility I was challenged to write at the latest MVP Summit. It is a command line utility to manage msDS-PasswordSettings objects and I ran into a weird issue where one of my GC queries wasn’t finding what I thought it should be finding. So as a point of first […]

Searching for users with the LDAP Filter (objectClass=user)…

by @ Saturday, March 24th, 2007. Filed under tech

…is generally a very bad idea. Why, because in Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 AD, objectClass is not, by default, indexed. What does that mean you ask? It means that your query is going to be way slow because it has to look at every single object in the search scope of the query […]

One of the more secret but possibly hottest new features of Longhorn Server is now “out of the closet”. It is something that has been in the last couple of customer preview versions of Longhorn available up on MSDN and blog entries from Microsoft and other parties are starting to pop up. Rumors have abounded for months […]

by @ Sunday, March 18th, 2007. Filed under general

I have released the new joeware website to production. My hope is that it is easier to browse and locate what you need plus I expect folks will consider it to be much more up to date in its look. If you have any comments or questions or issues with the site, please email me and let […]
