I have a friend at work named AJ, AJ Plichta, if you must know. Yes, THAT AJ.
AJ likes to type AdFind commands without specifying –f before the filter.
Now for most, this isn’t a huge deal, but when you consider our main work forest has around 2.5 million users this can be a rather cumbersome query to run and usually doesn’t result in the output that he wants and he pings me in Zoom or Jabber and says hey what is wrong with my command?
I then look at the command and smile and laugh out loud and then I type LOL.
For AJ, I agreed to looking into adding something to AdFind to help with this. He asked to please not use his name for the switch… I have acquiesced to his desire, there is not a switch with his name in it…
This fix in the upcoming release of AdFind is for AJ.
