joeware - never stop exploring... :)

I was working on testing the new ADFIND beta (V01.27.00 beta 2)this evening when I ran into what confused the heck out of me and I eventually decided it might be a bug. I was trying to list some schema attributes and I had a strong idea of what should be returned…

The query was

adfind -schema -f "ldapdisplayname=*meta*" ldapdisplayname -list -sort

Well I get the output of


linkTrackVolumeTable
msDS-ReplAttributeMetaData
msDS-ReplValueMetaData
msExchIMMetaPhysicalURL
replPropertyMetaData


and I think…. linkTrackVolumeTable? That isn’t a metadata attribute, what the heck is that doing there.

After I spend a good amount of time trying to figure it out I don’t, so I send it to a couple of friends and one of them responds via email… How odd, I get the same results.

Then after 5 or 10 minutes or so my friend IMs me and says and I quote

“We’re knobs”
“Utter knobs”

Of course my immediate super intelligent reply is “Huh?” (My favorite reply BTW, very non-committal)

“linkTrackVolu_meTa_ble”

Ugh.

Now I need to figure out how to get ADFIND to highlight the portion of the object that matches the filter I submitted.
