I'll take a look at msDS-ReplValueMetaData and msDS-ReplAttributeMetaData. I'm trying to do this in a vbscript and avoid getting into any compiled solutions. I told my boss I could do this in an hour because I thought I could just use IADsTools, oopsie. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2006 5:38 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Replication Metadata I doubt that IADsTools was updated. They seemed to be trying to kill that as far back as 2001. I think it was someone's pet project and they went to another petting zoo to work... I know I found some time issues in it back then and some more later that I tried to get corrected and was wholly unsuccessful on both occasions. But the answer is... There is additional metadata available now for looking at value level changes. The way IADsTools was probably getting the info (this is a guess, never saw the code) is through the attribute replPropertyMetaData but it very well could have been using the RPC based API call DsReplicaGetInfo. Probably the simplest mechanism to use now are the attributes msDS-ReplAttributeMetaData and msDS-ReplValueMetaData which by default will return XML strings with the data. If you are equipped to handle it, you can instead make the calls much faster and pass less data on the wire by asking for the binary versions of those attributes by appending the ;binary modifier. If you want to write DC API based code, you can use DsReplicateGetInfo2. joe -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Isenhour, Joseph Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 11:36 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Replication Metadata I'm using Robbie Allens example for using IADSTools.DCFunctions to read group object meta data. I just realized that now that we've upgraded to 2003 I can no longer look at the member last changed field to determine when group membership last changed. I know that RepAdmin can look at the individual group changes so there must be some updated API that I can use to do the same thing, I just can't seem to find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
