Information about joeware mixed with wild and crazy opinions...
Hi, I just wanted to touch base on the upcoming releases. I thought I would be releasing new production versions of AdFind and AdMod at the beginning of the month. Obviously that did not happen. I ran into a few bugs I needed to deal with and most recently ran into something I really wanted […]
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security/compass/esae-retirement ”We have found that ESAE projects are often detrimental to overall security posture as they are high cost, difficult to use and support, and provide a limited set of security (only Active Directory administrators and only preventive controls).” What took so long to figure that out? Oh, they knew, they just didn’t have something […]
For a short time only I have the latest daily build Beta versions of AdFind V01.53.00 and AdMod V01.21.00 out on the joeware website at https://www.joeware.net/downloads/beta/20201231_expire/ As the folder name implies, these versions will expire on December 31, 2020 UTC. These may actually be the Release Candidates unless I find something in the next week […]
So say you hate Account Operators group as much as I do and want to just strip the AO ACEs off of objects… Then this output below is something you will like… Less than 30 seconds to strip all AO access off of 20 objects remotely from a non-domain joined PC over wireless to a […]

Another common thing that people want to do from the command line with AdFind | AdMod is to clear the “Protect object from accidental deletion” setting that is implemented with a deny delete ACE on the object, specifically [DACL] DENY;;[DEL TREE][DEL];;;Everyone As mentioned previously, the Security Descriptor is a BLOB so you have to deal […]
I recently received an email of: <SNIP> I have a bunch of previously sensitive&protected accounts where I like to enable inheritance.. Is it possible to remove protected inheritance flag with admod? <SNIP> The quick answer to the direct question is yes, there is an easy way to turn inheritance back on for an arbitrary object […]
Out of curiosity how many people need to run my tools on pre-Windows Server 2008 machines? I.E. Windows 2000, XP, 2003, etc? I was just alerted this last week by a random Russian user that AdFind doesn’t run ON Windows Server 2003 X64. I did some testing and that is correct, in fact it won’t […]
While Microsoft put a weak “important’ rating on CVE-2020-0601 the NSA (yes that NSA) has called it critical and severe. And since they found it, I am going to lay my bets with them. Microsoft’s bulletin says it is code signing issues, NSA and others in the social media circles says it is much deeper. […]
So try two… When I updated the web pages last night, I apparently updated a page that didn’t have the newer download mechanism in it so ended up breaking the download for AdFind. So you have gotten to experience a nice unhappy face page instead when trying to download. That was corrected a few hours […]
