I have stripped out the debugdebugs and the expiration code as I am thinking at the moment that this will be the last build of V01.52.00 barring any bug reports that are serious enough to deal with… I will use it at work for a week and see if there are any issues and if […]
Looks like wordpress updated something… Everything has gone cuckoo! Edit: For some reason the color schemes and some of the displayed stuff is different for a logged in user versus a guest. Trying to sort it out. 🙂 Edit2: This should be all sorted out now, if things look weird, comment here. Rating 4.33 out […]
AdFind V01.52.00 is close to release. It went slow because I finally worked on integrating boost::regex functionality into AdFind. Including both match and substitute functionality. The regex components will be considered beta for a few versions as there is a lot to figure out here and how people will use it. Also it isn’t my […]
After, more than <cough>two decades<cough> in a professional role of some sort of ops, engineer, architect, dev ops person in IT or Information Security in very large multinational Fortune 1-50 sized companies I have grown to dislike complexity in a way that some people without my experience may think is unnatural if not completely unhealthy.

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 […]
For Windows Server 2019 and newer OSes I have decided to add in the numeric portion of the DSA Version String to the “Directory” string that is listed at the top of every run in the header… Any thoughts, comments, and/or feedback before I lock into the decision?

I have had quite a few people ask me to get to the getting and get the jwDCLocator.pl script made available for them to start looking at it. So to help those folks out, I am going to do a “quick release” from the Blog and follow up with a release more similar to how […]
Microsoft has a specific method for returning basic information that can be used for finding what site (and what is the next closest site) for any given machine that reaches out to a domain controller with a LDAP query. Originally the query had to be performed over CLDAP (connectionless LDAP aka UDP LDAP) but sometime […]

Getting very close to being ready to release the reasonable effort platform agnostic version perl script that will run through the DC Locator process. Note that I intend for this to be a fairly robust script. It finds server (domain controller) site, client site, and next closest site. It polls the DCs validating them to […]
