The primary updates I was looking to put into AdFind V01.39.00 are now done. Now I am adding/updating shortcuts. After that, I have to do the part I hate the most, update the usage… Ugh.
As I look at the usage I think, I really need to write a book that goes into depth on all of the switches and variations thereof and what you can do with it because I don’t even recall all of the cute pieces I put into it at this point. I visualized a book on AdFind/AdMod before. It was sort of an AD/LDAP primer with basic ideas explained and then sort of a cookbook / reference for AdFind/Admod. That is a lot of work though and would be something I would write and then use something like cafepress to publish to pay for the labor it would take as I couldn’t get other tool type stuff done while working on it.
Here is the rough listing of what was done so far from V01.37.00 (don’t mind the typos, people don’t usually get to see this…). I will discuss the changes more in depth later, maybe. 😉
