I have to say this tool is pretty cool and it certainly makes blogging easier. I am loving it, great job Microsoft. 🙂 Things that could use work, not in any particular order. 🙂 Use F7 instead of shift-F7 to spell check. On a seemingly regular basis the display will jump around. I would like Font […]

I was working away updating the usage and examples for AdMod this evening and ran a couple of test commands to figure out which ones I want to document. I like to play against ADAM as it is all local and just because I like playing with ADAM. Anyway, I fired one of my saved ADAM instances up […]

Ok… so let me claim being too busy to properly write the previous blog entry about transfering the PDC master role… I totally forgot that I made it a trifle easier to use AdMod than what I documented… This is my utility flexibility coming back to bite me… But then, maybe I bit me, no one […]

There is an interesting conversation that spun up over on activedir.org when someone needed to troubleshoot an LDAPS issue when querying an AD DC through a firewall. The issue ended up being due to not having the certificate chain (i.e. didn’t trust the root) installed on the client machine but it flushed out a change that […]

…use VMWare Server 1.0!!!! Our friend Jorge contacted me about something he ran into in Longhorn (LH) which reminded me that I had a LH server mid-build on a Virtual Server 2005 R2 (VSR2) instance. I had started it but it was taking so damn long I went on to other things and eventually work […]

The offer is part of a weekly lab Microsoft is holding for developers in order to reduce […]

The fix is to add a registry value “Guid-Replid […]

Occasionally you want to sniff some network traffic but the traffic is all local and you find that the network sniffer doesn’t show anything. This is because the traffic doesn’t make it out to the capture drivers, it is redirected internally before it gets that far. I am working on testing AdMod right now with ADAM […]

There was a bit of a debate on Active Dir Org recently which is a rehash of a debate that comes up on a fairly regular basis concerning whether or not you should transfer FSMO roles when doing domain controller maintenance. I come down quite unforgivingly on the side of yes, transfer the roles. Part of the reasoning […]
