Google RID FSMO for the functions of the
RID master. Many people, including myself [1], have documented this.
This info. is easily findable on the big wild web.
As for how to view the RID of a user
object, there are several ways. An easy was is to download ADFIND (www.joeware.net) and type the
following:
adfind -default -f
samaccountname=username -nodn objectsid
e.g.
adfind -default -f
samaccountname=paulw -nodn objectsid
The value that is returned is the
SID. The RID is the last section (usually four, five or six digits
long).

Subject: [ActiveDir] Rid Master
Guys explain me , The
functions of RID master , how does i display RID of object created in
AD
Thanks in advance
While I wouldn't want this to become a humour list, I saw
the email and laughed and figured the same thing Laura figured, that Outlook
autofill bit the guy (which is funny all by itself because we have all seen it
happen if not had it happen to ourselves) and then I moved on. I find all of
the additional attention even more humourous including the value judgements of
the quality of the joke and analysis of words. I classify the
message as OT with the droves of other messages that come through the list
that are OT[1] and being sent here because of a tenous relationship of being
about technologies that utlitize AD[2] though the question itself has nothing
to do with AD or simply folks forgoing it all and just saying WTF, I'll give
it a shot and ask you guys because you seem helpful. If you get a whole day of
many of those coming through it is a bit annoying. More annoying, at least to
me, are questions that are ON TOPIC but someone didn't take time to look at
the archives or google and asking like it was the first time it was asked
versus maybe revisitng the previous discussion in new light. However, unless
the list goes moderated which no one wants or at least a vast majority of the
someone's don't want, the list is just the way it is and will be and you read
the messages if you want and blow by them otherwise. Overall I would
hate to lose the jocularity and casualness of the list. It is one of the
things that make it worth reading. :) There have been quite a few times
subjects have drifted off topic only to expose something in the monkeying
around or what not based on something not everyone understood or knew that we
wouldn't have otherwise found out that immediately snaps it all back on topic
and of great use. joe
[1] Though this was funnier than most OT
stuff.There is my value judgment on the quality. :) [2] Versus
actually being AD Technology. Examples of tech that utilize AD include but are
not limited to GPOs, DNS, Exchange, print queues, clustering, file server
manipulations (copying files, home drives, management, etc), etc. Not saying
questions about all of those are automatically OT, but we tend to get quite a
few questions in those areas that aren't about AD or the interaction with AD
but about the non-AD aspects of the tech. Examples being a question about how
to do something in a GPO versus say OU strategies for applying GPOs or the
permissions on the GPO objects and how AD interprets them. Or a general
question about DNS like what is returned in a query or how it is managed
versus what records need to be in DNS for AD to work or how its app NC
replicates. -- O'Reilly

the sender mistook this list for some other lists. On other lists, this would
have been a engendered more rapid-fire flame war to the sender's satisfaction,
even though the joke itself is very old and has outlived its useful shelf
life. I'm sure he's disappointed that this list is so geeky and
full of maroons with no sense of humors.

the possibility that this was an accident? I know I've accidentally sent mail to the wrong
addresses before by letting autofill kick in an not paying attention to what actually got
autofilled, and this seems like a
very strange thing to send to this list intentionally. Laura
