RE: [ActiveDir] The remote computer has ended the connection.
In W2K days, I would *always* log off an admin TS session and then do a remote shutdown/reboot. Executing a shutdown from within the interactive session was problematic, to say the least. I think part of it was breaking down TS-generated printer connections. I don't see this problem with W2K3.

[ActiveDir] orgfinder
Hi, I was working on a webpart for SharePoint to allow users keep up to date their info in AD, I just found out that there is already a free one. www.orgfinder.com They have an asp application and a webpart. The application is working fine but the webpart is not working. The app pool identity for the asp application is a user that I have created, as I said this is working great. But the SharePoint is using a different app pool with identity network services and of course does not have rights to update AD info. What would be the best way to fix this? changing the identity in the SharePoint app pool requires several step because it will brake connection to the content and configuration DB. Is there other way? does anyone knows if it is possible to use another app pool for just one webpart...I doubt it but I though I would be worthy to ask. Thanks
[ActiveDir] New Wireless WPA update KB917021
My relevant config: W2k3 SP1 native domain and WinXP SP2 admin workstation. I'm a bit dissapointed and confused about the release of KB917021 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917021/en-us) which touts the ability to finally set WPA2 for wireless clients through group policy (Computer Config > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies). I read through the KB article and deployed to a couple of test laptops and my admin workstation only to find that when edited using XPSP2 (have to follow Darren's instructions at http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/gpoguy/archive/2005/12/16/289.aspx to enable) or W2K3SP1, WPA2 is still not an option. I found the verbage used in the article section titled "WPA2 support in wireless group policy settings" to be a little unclear on this. Per that same section, I have found that if I go to my policy using the GPMC from a Vista test system (build 5744), that the options for WPA2 are present. I can't even fathom why MS would release this hotfix for public consumption when the only way to use the added capability is through beta OSs (Vista or Longhorn). Here's a couple of questions: 1) Does anyone know if an updated .adm for XP and/or 2K3, to add the capability to set WPA2 in group policy, is soon to be released? 2) Does anyone see potential issues with using the Vista RC2 machine to set this on my GPO (other than the fact that without the Vista box I will be unable to re-modify if necessary)? Even better if someone here has a test network of some size to play with this. I'm curious if I did the action in number 2, what would happen if I then tried to edit the same GPO from XPSP2 or W2k3SP1 after the change. Scott Klassen
Re: [ActiveDir] orgfinder
SharePoint is typically set to impersonate the logged on user, so you would normally be binding to AD as the browser user, not the network service (machine) account. It is possible that they disable impersonation, but that is unlikely. If you are impersonating and are using IWA auth, you need to get Kerberos delegation working. This may be hard in SharePoint as some versions actually disable Kerberos auth in the metabase during install. If the web part actually uses the trusted subsystem design and relies on the identity of the worker process to make the changes, then you would need to either change the app pool identity to a privileged user or allow the machine account to have those privileges. However, this scenario seems unlikely to me. You need to find out for sure before you can find out how to proceed though.

RE: [ActiveDir] Gather member of query based distribution list thru command line
You have to follow two steps, first you need to get the details around the query and then execute the query. I know of nothing that will do that automatically for you except the ADUC plugin for exchange. This would be good for a script. So first you want to get your QB DLs and the relative attributes. The objects you want are msExchDynamicDistributionList The attributes you want are msExchDynamicDLBaseDN msExchDynamicDLFilter So you do something like adfind -gc -null -f objectcategory=msExchDynamicDistributionList msExchDynamicDLBaseDN msExchDynamicDLFilter If it makes it easier for you, use CSV by adding the -csv switch. Then parse that and execute each of the queries. So if you see dn:CN=qbgroup,OU=MailUsers,OU=joeware2,OU=Exchange,DC=joe,DC=com >msExchDynamicDLBaseDN: DC=joe,DC=com >msExchDynamicDLFilter: (homemdb=*) Then you will execute something like adfind -gc -b DC=joe,DC=com -f "(homemdb=*)" -dn And that will return the DNs of all objects that meet the specified filter. This should be able to be pulled together into a perl script in rather short time. If you want something other than the DN for the matching objects, remove the -dn and add in what attributes you want returned like mailnickname or whatever.

There is something quirky with the caption in Vista. They even misspelled Microsoft :)

RE: [ActiveDir] Vista & WMI
This "corruption" is probably the fact that MSFT[1] put a
copyright symbol in the name of the OS, it is even reflected in AD. I bugged
this some time ago and got back a "you need to go talk to someone else"
initially and then ~Eric tried to push it forward, I don't think it got fixed
for Vista. Hopefully they will fix it for Longhorn because there will be quite a
few people bitching who are doing things at the command line or like you with
scripts.

RE: [ActiveDir] Vista & WMI
The caption is not corrupted. The branding introduces a (R) and a
(TM).
First, under Vista, the Win32_OperatingSystem class is a singleton
class now, meaning that you can locate the UNIQUE instance of that as
follows:
Set colOperatingSystems =
objWMIService.Get ("Win32_OperatingSystem=@")
It didn't make sense to enumerate this class when there is actuall
only 1 instance of the class available. However you can continue to enumerate as
before so, your script does not break on "before Vista
platforms".
Next to test the Windows version, and not get your script breaking
downlevel, you should use the following coding technique:
If Instr
(objOperatingSystem.Caption, "Vista") > 0 Then
If
objOperatingSystem.OperatingSystemSKU = 3 Then
WScript.Echo
"Home Basic Premium Edition"
wscript.quit
End
If
End
If
To test the operating SKU (Home, Ultimate, Basic, etc), you should
use OperatingSystemSKU property.
If you are pure Vista (and Longhorn server) and just need to
determine the SKU of the OS:
Set colOperatingSystems =
objWMIService.Get ("Win32_OperatingSystem=@")
Select Case
objOperatingSystem.OperatingSystemSKU
Case 0
WScript.Echo "Undefined"
Case 1
WScript.Echo "Ultimate Edition"
Case 2
WScript.Echo "Home Basic Edition"
Case 3
WScript.Echo "Home Basic Premium Edition"
