I'm guessing you mean "octet string" ... if so and if I understand what you're asking, not really ... <GUID=> and <SID=> are little more than hard-coded bits of server-side intelligence ... am I even answering your question?

Is this because that attribute's syntax is an Octal string? I'm just curious...not knowing too much about the way these things are stored!

Either way, can't even remember if the <GUID=blah> base is supported on 2K ... assuming it is, you missed the <GUID= from the beginning of the entry. -- Dean Wells MSEtechnology * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://msetechnology.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 5:05 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] GUID resolution Do I leave in the dashes?
