Change visibility in the directory...or lack there of (aka "what's the point of aging?")

I’m often asked about aging in adamsync so I thought I’d present the more general problem here for people to ponder. Hopefully this gives some context around the problem which aging in adamsync is supposed to address. Imagine you are writing a tool which

Finding the lost&found container in S.DS.P...or anything that isn't ADSI really

I found myself writing a piece of C# which would go hunt for objects in lost&found today. This is a pretty straight forward task….find that container, pop in to it and search away. I usually do this by looking at the lost&found well known GUID

Garbage collection & TSL warnings...why now?

I was recently pinged by a friend who is rolling out LH in their production environment. They were having an interesting issue where the LH DC showed these two events, in this order: (event log entries snipped some for brevity) Log Name: Directory Service

Large AD database? Probably not this large...

Over the last few months there have been a series of threads in regard to max <fill in the item here...there have been many> in a database. These items have ranged from database size to # of objects and other such things. I figured, after the latest

"VGA"-like drivers for networking

One of the things that has always impressed me about keyboard, mouse and monitor support is that it just works. That is, you can plug in almost any keyboard, mouse and monitor, on basically any video card, and it there is some level of support provided

ADAMSync on pre-R2 systems

From the inbox..... <quote> You say the requirements are Win2003R2 with the ADAM installed from the R2 CD. Will your guides work for us aswell? Running Win2003 SP1 in AD-environment and our developers are running standard Windows XP with the ADAM

ADAMSync can also transform users in to proxy users

Now that we have ADAMSync synchronizing our data over, we should probably investigate the most commonly asked for transformation: proxy user transformation. When we introduced proxy bind in ADAM RTM, customers seemed to really connect with the semantic.

Synchronizing only the attributes you really want

In our previous ADAMSync runs we synchronized all attributes except those in the <exclude> tags. This is probably ok for our tinkering, but in a real scenario, you might want to consider picking those you want instead of getting everything but those

Syncing to our OU=SyncTargetOU NC instead

Earlier in this series of posts I changed our sync target from form “OU=” to “DC=”. This was done to carefully skirt around a small issue. Now with our new found knowledge of logging in ADAMSync, let’s give it another try. So let’s go ahead in to our

Getting a log from ADAMSync

Over the course of the next few posts we’re going to start modifying all sorts of things in the configuration. Depending upon the particulars of your environment this might or might not pan out. :) As such, we should probably take a quick look at the

Configuring and running ADAMSync for the first time

So now that our ADAM schema is ready, we can go ahead and start configuring ADAMSync. We need to do three things to get ADAMSync running at this point: 1) Modify the XML file. The XML file is used as the configuration point for ADAMSync, so we’ll tweak

Gotta get the schema right first

Before trying to synchronize much of anything, we need to make sure the required schema elements are in place. NOTE: I would estimate that around a third of all questions I've received on ADAMSync came back to schema problems. It is critically important

ADAMSync in R2 - a new sync option

Welcome R2 RC0 ! As you might have heard, it’s hit the streets. With R2 comes the latest version of ADAM . ADAM has been a download from Microsoft.com since 2003. Since that time, based in part on customer feedback, the decision was made to bundle ADAM

AWE in WOW64 on x64

Here in the EEC, was asked a good question the other day, thought I’d pass it along. So the scenario is that the engagement in question was to run SQL 2000 SP4 on a box running Win2k3 x64 Enterprise Edition. The server had a good chunk of RAM (I think

Another random AD change in SP1

The other day over on activedir it was mentioned that in SP1 we added sidHistory to the list of attributes preserved on tombstones. I thought I’d mention this here, and provide some clarity around what actually changed, since there was some confusion
