We, as IT people in general and AD people in particular, often get dinged with the ubiquitous “quick question”. You all know what I mean, the “Hey I have a quick question” or “Hey do you have a second for a quick question” or most often just “Hey, got a sec?” as the person sits […]

If you have ever had AdFind output CSV before *and* you sent that output into Excel[1] *and* one or more of the fields had embedded double quotes as part of the value you likely ran into an issue with how AdFind escapes the double quotes.

Changed AdFind shortcut -sc adobjcnt for V01.46.00…

by @ Thursday, January 12th, 2012. Filed under tech

So unfortunately I had to make a change that I very much try to avoid making with my utilities, I modified the core behavior of one of the shortcuts. Certainly this is much less painful than changing core behavior of a switch but it is still painful. First… why do I avoid making core behavior […]
