If you are serious about using AdMod I need you… When I mean serious I mean that when you have to change something in AD you start thinking of the AdMod switches to use, not what GUI tool to open. Do you do schema changes with AdMod in your lab on the fly? That kind of […]

I just wanted to touch base and let everyone know that admod v01.07.00 is still coming along. I have finally finished getting some additional debug logging into the tool in the event someone finds something that doesn’t appear to be working right and need to get me involved. This is necessary for some of the […]

I have updated the LG program… Well actually I have cleaned up and released a private version of LG that allows you to specify SIDs instead of names to add/remove members. It also will let you clear all members from a local group in one command. If you aren’t familiar with LG, it is a tool […]

A couple of years ago a friend asked me to add the ability to do an actual password change instead of a password set in the ChangePW utility. I made a quick change for him and sent it off as it needed it quickly. I planned on going back and updating the usage/help and the […]

I have started getting some emails asking…. “Hey where the heck is the updated version of AdMod?” Well I don’t know where it is. Well that isn’t true, it is up in another Window right now and I am taking a small break from it to write this entry. Adding my CSV/ADCSV capability is pretty […]

I was contacted about a bug in MemberOf. Stupid mistake on my part really… If a user/computer was in a member of a group that was locked down via permissions from the person running the tool they would have the opportunity to experience MemberOf hanging and eventually crashing. Again very stupid mistake. This is now […]

I have updated the software for this blog… If you encounter an issue, please let me know. Rating 3.00 out of 5

I have updated the MemberOf utility. This is just a quickie update as I received requests from like three people in less than a week that were for similar requests I have gotten over the years. I want to rewrite this from scratch again to take advantage of some stuff that I have learned to make […]

Ok, after much delay, the new version of ExchMbx has been released. The main update here is that it now works to move mailboxes again on Exchange Server 2003 SP2. The Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 SP2 update had a nice “fix” where the Exchange Dev Team broke the mailbox interface contract by changing the parameters […]
