AdFind –MVFilter updates

by @ 3:39 pm on 12/29/2008. Filed under tech

I have lots of features in AdFind that I like, but I have to say I am particularly happy with the –mvfilter function. Its something so simple and so widely requested yet NOT done by most LDAP clients… You want this functionality when you only want to see the values in the attribute that match specific things you are looking for… For example, I want all email addresses in the proxyaddresses attribute that has the string @company.com in it so I can clean them up… How hard, seriously, should that be? I initially added it with only about 30 minutes of coding and I have now expanded it a little for V01.39.00. At some point I hope to actually add regular expression capability to the matching.

The first update is to allow you to specify multiple values for a single attribute. So for example you could only output proxyaddress values that have smtp: in them, now you could specify that you want to see smtp: and x400:.

The second update is to match on the attribute name only. Previously I took the entire string returned by Active Directory for the attribute and matched against that. In most cases this is fine and truthfully most people are looking at the screen going? Huh? What’s the difference? The difference comes in when doing some more advanced things like working with attributes you want returned in their binary formats or values that come back with ranging. When that occurs the attribute has a ;binary or ;range= string appended to the attribute name so if you are matching on someattrib=joe if you get back someattrib;binary=joe the match would fail because the attribute name wasn’t matching up. I have made that more intelligent and now someattrib=joe will check attributes named someattrib as well as someattrib;someextension.

A simple example showing something cool you can do because of these two updates. We will pull replication metadata for an object… No we will pull replication metadata for multiple objects based on an LDAP filter. I want to do this because it is something that can’t be done by repadmin which is the first tool everyone else thinks of when they think to get replication metadata. ;)  Don’t get me wrong, repadmin is extremely cool, I like it a lot, I just like AdFind better for getting replication metadata.

Retrieve the replication metadata info for proxyAddress, mailnickname, and homeMDB for every object with a mailnickname value.

You may think… so what… well here is what it would look like with AdFind without the multivalue filtering….

as you can see, the filtering makes the output much more useful, you get only what you need.

    I’m one of those people that thinks of repadmin when I think of metadata so this is a great post. I learn something new every day. I agree with you on repadmin, whoever wrote that deserves some type of award. One of my favorite tools for sure.

    Hope you have a great New Year’s Joe and a better 2009. Look for my 2008 tip in your PayPal jar, another year of great tools and knowledge!!

    Are you doing the filtering of the XML data your self in the adfind app, or are you actuelly using ntdsapi!DsGetReplicaInfo2 call with pszAttributeName? Good work anyway!.
