GCCHK Issue

by @ Thursday, June 9th, 2005. Filed under updates

It was brought to my attention that the version of GCCHK that is downloaded from the website was V01.01.00 instead of the V01.03.00 that is specified in the web page. The actual download file got revved back at some point, it is now corrected. If you use this tool, please verify the version. Rating 3.00 […]

So this is it…

by @ Wednesday, June 8th, 2005. Filed under general

I have received the DOC files for Active Directory 2nd Edition so I can start working on making it Active Directory 3rd Edition. I am not afraid to say that I have butterflies over it. This is pretty different. As you may know, I wrote a chapter for the Windows Server Cookbook but this is […]

by @ Wednesday, June 8th, 2005. Filed under tech

Ok, so I am working on the event message id tool dumper I discussed previously and I run into something very odd.

They now have a nice website at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/support/eventserrors.mspx which is quite nice, however, if you […]

AdMod Bug Fix V01.06.00 now available

by @ Friday, June 3rd, 2005. Filed under updates

I corrected a bug in AdMod with undeleting objects. New version is V01.06.00. A change with how DNs were handled in V01.05.00 caused an issue with the undelete process that I should have caught in testing but didn’t. Luckily Jorge ran into the bug and emailed me about it and I was able to correct […]

Support for PSS…

by @ Thursday, June 2nd, 2005. Filed under general

I had an interesting experience today. On a regular basis I receive probably about 50-200 emails a week of questions and comments and requests from people. Some of them are rather interesting, some are downright insane. Some time I will write about the guy who wrote me about how I needed to remove my opening […]

by @ Thursday, June 2nd, 2005. Filed under tech

So anyone using the HP OVOW ADSPI? What do you think of it? What is good? What is bad? I am trying to learn about it and am currently in a unique position to give feedback to key HP people about it. Email me or post comments here… joe Rating 3.00 out of 5
