Please note that this is EXTREMELY inefficient though and queries like this will often timeout unless you disable the timeout or extend it considerably. AD doesn't do a great job with query filters that have the wildcard anywhere but at the end of the search string. This can be corrected with tuple indexing in K3 but should only be done if you really do it a lot as it is an expensive index.

Any idea why the operator "contains" is not available? Mike Thommes Ps. joe, don't ever go GUI!

I might be opening myself up to abuse due to not knowing how to do something but here we go :) :) You can create saved queries in ADUC but the doesn't seem to be a way to export the result of the query from the pop up windows. This would be quite useful even if not as flexible as Joe's amazing utilities. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ruston, Neil Sent: 04 August 2005 12:53 To: 'ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Biggest AD Gripes In all fairness, all reg keys can be managed via ADM templates, which can be custom crafted. I for one, have done this from JDP times onward, esp when configuring 3rd party apps. However, it would be far more elegant if more (Windows) settings were exposed via the out of the box ADM files and hopefully, one day, vendors will supply ADM files for their products too. Deleting and undeleting features are definitely well over due. neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Myrick, Todd (NIH/CC/DNA) Sent: 04 August 2005 11:37 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Biggest AD Gripes I am not a big fan of having to use the registry editor to set fixed RPC ports. It would be nice if during the DCPROMO process you could set the ports with in the GUI or Script. Recently I have been using GPO's to make the settings changes. A nicer tool for deleting orphan/linger objects would be nice.
