I spent some time this weekend relearning something I learned 15 or so years ago… How to make 2.5.5.14 (DN with String) attribute schema changes that actually work. It’s simple but there is also a trick to it that you need to be aware of. Let’s go back a bit… I was recently asked about […]
Unfortunately after nearly 17 years (first awarded October 2001) of being re-awarded the MVP Award year over year for an ever name changing space around Windows Server Directory Services I was not awarded this year. While the book, blog, and tools are as popular as ever and the questions continue to roll into my inbox […]
I posted about this about a decade ago but going through email this morning I found at least 8 or 9 questions from people in some way shape or form related to it so I figured I would re-post and maybe it will show up search engines more or perhaps people will realize it still […]
Forest/Domain Mode = WinThreshold?? Really MSFT? Come on… Sloppy. -ForestMode Specifies the forest functional level for the new forest. Supported values for this parameter can be either a valid integer or a corresponding enumerated string value. For example, to set the forest mode level to Windows Server 2008 R2, you can specify either a value […]
So many large companies over the years have struggled with information being spread (synced) all over the damn place within their corporate network boundaries.

. .. … …. . .. Or if you prefer | / – \ | / errr…. So back a while back (http://blog.joeware.net/2017/10/31/5801/) I pulled AdMod into the garage…It is still there. I am working on it when I can. It is slow going, much slower going than AdFind goes because the code is much […]
[Updated: 2018/07/07] There are a series of control access rights (CARs) that are specifically tied to granting permissions for returning “Replicated Changes” which are changes to the Directory Service (DS) that would be (and are if everything is working properly) replicated to other Directory Service Agents (aka DSAs / domain controllers or ADLDS instances).

The reg key hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters has a specific value you can set under it called EnableECP. There is some confusion on whether or not that key is case sensitive. I can say that no, it is not case sensitive. I looked it up in the source code. The ZwOpenKey ObjectAttributes parameter is being initialized via InitializeObjectAttributes […]
