Yeah I will get on this bandwagon as well and say that the Cookbook is a good book. The format will really fit what a lot of AD Admins out there need when they think, "You know I just need to do this or that, I wonder if it is in the cookbook?" - "Oh cool, here it is, with several different ways to do it... Sort of like TIMTOWTDI man, rock on, this Robbie guy must have a perl mindset...".
But again, once you understand that one and are still hungry, get Managing Enterprise Active Directory Services. Then you will really be geared for some serious admin work (after your head stops spinning), then you go and find Gil's Active Directory Programming and have even more fun.... If it doesn't exist somewhere (I am not aware of it) we should build a web page with must have reading for AD with descriptions and what the paper or book or web page is aimed at (dev or admin or quick howto or ?) and ratings or something. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Murray Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 7:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] suggestions for OU delegation information sources You might indeed have to wait for Robbie's Cookbook, but you can pre-order at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596004648/qid=1055854721/sr=2-1/ ref=sr_2_1/104-1580686-2322327 I've seen it and I think Robbie's done a fantastic job.

I thought Robbie's stuff went with out saying :-] These are the books that never make it to my bookshelfs, they stay either _on_ my desk or in the car, that's as high of a tribute as I can pay to any book. In all honesty, I must admit to being veyy envious of Rick and Joe who have already seen Robbie's new book. The rest of us mere mortals must wait till it's published. I knew I should have kissed up to Robbie at DEC more <VBG> -----Original Message----- Wrom: HAALPTCXLYRWTQTIPWIGYOKSTTZRCLBDXRQBGJSN Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 7:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyone that doesn't have this book is really, REALLY missing out on a true great book on AD. This book has detailed subjects that most other authors have not drilled into as well. Plus, the illustrations that they use (visually) are great. Robbie - your update to the AD book is wonderful. But, these two Finns did a GREAT job with a book that is absolutely phenominal on what it covers. And, it covers it very well. Bob is right - this is a must have on your shelf (along with Robbie's book(s), of course!)

As we continue to "flesh out" our AD structure, we are trying to give delegation authority for various objects in OUs to the appropriate groups. Being a "control freak", I don't want to give these groups full control over all of the objects in the OU since this is also where our user accounts sit. We've done some experimenting with modifying the delegwiz.inf file to create custom templates but find that information for exact permissions needed to do a particular task is somewhat scarce. Has anyone put together a custom delegwiz.inf file that we could "borrow" from? Is there any literature out there regarding delegation that someone would recommend? Any help is always appreciated! Thanks!
