I have lots of features in AdFind that I like, but I have to say I am particularly happy with the –mvfilter function. Its something so simple and so widely requested yet NOT done by most LDAP clients… You want this functionality when you only want to see the values in the attribute that match […]

Which is the correct spelling? Anyone? I would tend to go with cachEable but Microsoft went with cachAble in the attribute msDS-IsUserCachableAtRodc so I keep misspelling the darn attribute. 🙂 Interestingly Live Writer spell check thinks Cacheable is ok but Cachable is an error…   Rating 3.00 out of 5

I added support for the input DN control in AdFind V01.39.00. What is the input DN control? It is a new control for Windows Server 2008 which will show you the RODC caching policy for a given (or set of) RODC(s) for a given security principal. This is done by specifying the LDAP_SERVER_INPUT_DN_OID control and […]

The primary updates I was looking to put into AdFind V01.39.00 are now done. Now I am adding/updating shortcuts. After that, I have to do the part I hate the most, update the usage… Ugh. As I look at the usage I think, I really need to write a book that goes into depth on […]

As you all know, I have been working away on AdFind lately. I added the ability to decode msPKIRoamingTimeStamp to its two components (create and update time). I wanted to test it and because I don’t have that attrib set on my test environments I needed to compile AdFind in a non-debug mode… And my […]

I’m on a roll… This evening while partaking in a little turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, and some sautéed squash fries and visiting with friends and family the code I needed to write to add delta time filter capability popped into my head and this evening I inserted that code so now you can do something […]

So you have this big nasty LDAP filter and for some reason it isn’t working and by that I mean when you submit the query it comes back and says invalid filter or maybe it doesn’t return what you expect for the data set. You know if you could just see the filter in a […]
