I have now uploaded a second beta of AdFind V01.50.00 to the website, you can find it at http://www.joeware.net/downloads/beta/adfind_v150_beta2.zip The previous beta had two main issues with it. First it was built with dynamic linking meaning that it looked for MSFT DLLs on the machine it was running on to utilize the API functions […]
I previously released a beta for AdFind that wasn’t statically linked. I did that with the thought that one of the big benefits of using Visual Studio is that a lot of people would already have the necessarily DLLs. While a lot do, a lot also do not so I will be releasing a beta […]
In case it is ever a question (say like someone from MSFT tells you it works differently), objects deleted in Active Directory go into the Deleted Objects container[1] of the Partition the objects live in. They do not get moved to the Configuration Partition Deleted Objects container. [Mon 04/10/2017 14:37:42.83] C:\>adfind -hh k16tst-dc1.k16tst.test.loc -gcb -f […]
I am now comfortable enough with the stability of AdFind V01.50.00 to release a beta of what is likely to be released. I went extra slow on testing on this version because I have converted the compiler from C++ Builder (previously Borland) to Visual Studio. This resulted in a considerable speed increase which really […]
I think I have settled on the data I want to make available for the –sslinfo switch. If someone thinks there would be some additional info that would be useful please let me know. Below is what I have for output so far for the –sslinfo switch. I am thinking the switch will initially be […]
Added this SSL Info functionality this week. I am likely to still change it up a little. I would like to see if I can report on the server cert too. And maybe see about this going into a CSV/TSV type output format as well since it is well outside the normal code path. Beta […]
As previously mentioned I have been focusing on some speed tweaks for AdFind for larger scale environments. One of the items I have wanted to speed up was the decoding of Security Descriptors especially in orgs where they got a little crazy with AD Delegation and added a ton of ACEs to object Security Descriptors. […]
Is anyone aware of a mechanism to determine what the source of a given OS binary is from? I.E. Say you want to know where your lsass.exe binary or tcpip.sys binary came from, what specific hot fix or rollup or whatever. How do you do it? joe Rating 3.00 out of 5
One of my good AD aware friends pinged me yesterday while I was at work asking about what was the specific AdFind command to find out the additional (or alternate) UPN Suffixes that may be defined for a domain. I responded back with a quick answer off the top of my head that it was […]
If you need to quickly get a handle on how many members each group in your domain or forest has, here is a quick and dirty method of generating that information: Retrieving information for a single domain: adfind -default -f objectcategory=group member -csv -cv Which would look like C:\>adfind -default -f objectcategory=group member -csv […]
