by @ Monday, January 26th, 2009. Filed under general

The conference formerly known as The Directory Experts Conference (DEC) and now known as The Experts Conference (TEC) For Directory & Identity is now on my itinerary for March. I really didn’t think I was going to be able to pull it off this year and by some spit, luck, and a miracle I was […]

Future History

by @ Wednesday, January 21st, 2009. Filed under general

Ok so how about we let the future decide on what is and isn’t history and how about we get to work on getting our collective asses out of the hole we put ourselves in. I would much rather put my time and focus and energy on that versus getting sprained elbows patting ourselves on […]

What does it take to get someone from SE Michigan off their butt and out into 6-9 inches of snow???

by @ Tuesday, January 13th, 2009. Filed under general

Apparently a new Sonic Drive-In… This last weekend we had 6-9 inches of snow in the Mt. Clemens area of Michigan. At the same time a new Sonic has opened up here (probably only 4-5 inches by the point these pics were taken). The traffic to this place is unbelievable. The nearest Sonic to this […]

AdFind V01.39.00 Released

by @ Saturday, January 10th, 2009. Filed under updates

AdFind V01.39.00 is now released. This is the first public release of AdFind since V01.37.00 in June 2007. V01.38.00 was never publicly released. One of the biggest changes with this version is that I moved to a new compiler. V01.37.00 was compiled with Borland C++ Builder 6 (released in 2002).  V01.39.00 was compiled with Code […]

Windows Server 2008 AD Issue for NSPI

by @ Thursday, January 8th, 2009. Filed under tech

Not really an issue or at least it shouldn’t be, if something is generating more than 50 concurrent NSPI connections, it likely needs to be checked out anyway…   NSPI connections from Microsoft Outlook to a Windows Server 2008-based domain controller may fail with an error code: “MAPI_E_LOGON_FAILED” This behavior occurs because Windows Server 2008 […]

Metadata info in AdFind

by @ Friday, January 2nd, 2009. Filed under tech

My recent post about getting Active Directory replication Meta Data has spawned a considerable number of emails. I wanted to take a moment and remind everyone of the help switch specifically talking about the replication metadata info. This usage provided in AdFind tells you your sort options available for each metadata attribute and what info […]

Cool AdFind feature #49216

by @ Friday, January 2nd, 2009. Filed under tech

This is a new feature that I added to AdFind on this last version. Sometimes you look at a record and you want to quickly know the delta time between now and the time listed. I have added the –tdcd option to do that. By default it will handle the int8 values, but if you […]
