Amazon has it listed at 49.99 but youreally pay31.49. AD3E is also listed for 49.99 and selling at 31.49. Interestingly one of the Amazon MarketPlace Sellers has it listed for $102.33... If they sell it at that price I am going to start selling mine with signatures for like $100. :) For some reason Amazon isn't listing it the book as the 2nd Edition though the date is June 2006 and Laura's name is on it.

Re: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Cookbook 2e
Go buy the new edition, all the cool people are doing it! ;-) But seriously, folks, there's some pretty nice changes in existing content as well as a bunch of new stuffs. We tried to add at least a handful of new recipes in each chapter, as well as updating the existing recipes with command-line stuff (lots of adfind/admod) as well as fixing various errata. The new content is a chapter on Exchange (mostly courtesty of joe), a chapter on MIIS from Gil Kirkpatrick and Steven Plank, and a chapter each on ADAM, ADFS, and the new File/Print stuff in R2. I for one think that it's a substantial update to the already-wonderful 1st Edition. Robbie found me a wonderful group of reviewers - joe and Al Mulnick in particular kicked my butt from here into next week during the TR process. Also much good help from TonyM, RBuike and Rick Kingslan, and Darren Mar-elia kept us all honest on the Group Policy chapter. So anyway. Go buy it so that I can afford that new yacht I've been eyeing up lately. ;-) - Laura On 6/14/06, joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Laura will have to stop by and explain what has really changed. However I know that the chapter I wrote for the Windows Server Cookbook for Exchange tasks got pulled into it and extended (and probably some corrections as well). That same chapter went into AD3E as well but I trimmed it down considerably for AD3E as the format didn't fit right. Obviously it fit perfectly for the AD Cookbook. I believe there is an ADAM chapter now. I am sure some errata got input as well as issues I and probably others found on the second pass that we didn't find on the first or maybe we did find on the first but for some reason or another didn't make it into the final. (that never happens smirk) Ummm I know Laura added a ton of adfind/admod examples because she would write me an email every week with a list of questions for the week and I would respond to it for her. Plus if I saw places it could be added in the chapters themselves I put in notes for her. Sheeoot.

I think it covers scripting on Exchange,win2k3 sp1,win2k3 RC2,ADAM,and MIIS among many other things. It seems to be about 300 + more pages than the first edition of new stuff. I haven't gotten it yet but I have the first edition which is pretty great and between that and Joe's update of the Active Directory cat book and this list, my paltry knowldge of AD became slightly less so. I am surely going to get this.

Sounds about right. From what I remember from the review there is a new chapter on printers and shared folders (R2 stuff), a MIIS chapter, and one on ADFS.

Hey
Rob,
What about this
donate a cookbook a month for someone who comes up with a great idea for
additions to the next version of the cookbook.
Basically the
submissions have to follow the format of the book, and have to work.
They would be judge
based on the following criteria.
The topic covered
in AD. 1-25 points (Existing topics with a spin get up to 12.5 points;
new topics getting up to 25 if worthy.)
The issues
identified within the topic 1-25 points. (Each issue identified gets
2.5 points for existing topics. Max 10)
The solutions that
meet the needs identified for each topic. 1-50 points. (Each need that
gets a solution gets 5 points per solutions. Solutions should identify
any GUI, CLI, and VB methods for automation.)
To make things
interesting if it takes off, If one of the vendors (CoughNETPRO,
CoughAELITA, Cough.Quest, Cough..BV) was willing to support this
contest, it would be really interesting.
Just an Idea at
1AM...

are...
adfind -b
CN={6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=joehome,DC=com
-s base displayname

adfind -b
CN={61CF67FA-41FA-415C-B349-E7D182BDD54F},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=joehome,DC=com
-s base
I
don't recall those exact examples in the book. :op
Can
anyone guess how often I use adfind in the course of a normal
workday?
Me
neither. But I have wrapped it with a couple of batch files.
The
first is called findthis.cmd
It
takes whatever I enter and basically does a
adfind -gc -b -f name=%1 -dn
I
also have a kids.cmd
adfind -gc -b %1 -s one -f * -dn
and
also I have a get
adfind -b %1 -s base
Ok
that is enough, I don't want to hurt anyone. ;o)
Good
night!

Hey
Rob,
What about this
donate a cookbook a month for someone who comes up with a great idea for
additions to the next version of the cookbook.
Basically the
submissions have to follow the format of the book, and have to work.
They would be judge
based on the following criteria.
The topic covered
in AD. 1-25 points (Existing topics with a spin get up to 12.5 points;
new topics getting up to 25 if worthy.)
The issues
identified within the topic 1-25 points. (Each issue identified gets
2.5 points for existing topics. Max 10)
The solutions that
meet the needs identified for each topic. 1-50 points. (Each need that
gets a solution gets 5 points per solutions. Solutions should identify
any GUI, CLI, and VB methods for automation.)
To make things

RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Cookbook
Title: Message
Rick,
I think he may be referring to our conversation
1.
Here
is what I vote for:
set
objParent = GetObject("LDAP://ParentDN")set objUser
= objParent.Create("user", "cn=UserName")objUser.Put
"sAMAccountName", "UserName"objUser.Put "userPrincipalName",
"UserUPN"objUser.Put "givenName",
"UserFirstName"objUser.Put "sn",
"UserLastName"objUser.Put "displayName", "UserFirstName
UserLastName"objUser.SetInfoobjUser.SetPassword
"password1"objUser.AccountDisabled=FALSEobjUser.SetInfo
Note
you don't have to set the account disabled. The default useraccountcontrol on
the create will be disabled. You need to swing back and enable it and set the
password.
2. If a single domain
adfind -default -f
"(objectcategory=person)(samaccountname=*)" -dn
NOTE: That may pull trust accounts to, I don't have
trusts set up on my home domain to check.
If multiple domain forest
adfind -h dcname -default -f
"(objectcategory=person)(samaccountname=*)" -dn
or
adfind-b dc=domain,dc=com-f
"(objectcategory=person)(samaccountname=*)" -dn
NOTE: Same
note.
If you do get trusts as
well, you need to filter them out andat 1:53AM the thing I think you would
do is add a (!samaccountname=*$) which really sucks because !'s kill search
time.
The first single domain query yanked my 2034
userids in my home domain in about 5 seconds. That is with a PIII-930 with 512
MB running about 10 normal apps(one isVPC 5.2 with a Windows Server 2003
Enterprise guest fired up and allocated 64MB RAM) against my W2K DC which is
PII-450 w/ 128MB RAM.

1) Yes, this is one way. Just discussed this topic on

disabled and then applying the complex password is valid.

It's a great book.
Two questions: 1) did you guru's here on activedir come to
the conclusion that, due to password complexity, a user should be created
disabled? Does that affect any recipes other than 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3? 2) I think
you should add one of the simplest and (in my opinion) the most common AD query
as a recipe: how to find all the users in a domain.

Rick,
I think he may be referring to our conversation
1.
Here
is what I vote for:
set
objParent = GetObject("LDAP://ParentDN")set objUser
= objParent.Create("user", "cn=UserName")objUser.Put
"sAMAccountName", "UserName"objUser.Put "userPrincipalName",
"UserUPN"objUser.Put "givenName",
"UserFirstName"objUser.Put "sn",
"UserLastName"objUser.Put "displayName", "UserFirstName
UserLastName"objUser.SetInfoobjUser.SetPassword
"password1"objUser.AccountDisabled=FALSEobjUser.SetInfo
Note
you don't have to set the account disabled. The default useraccountcontrol on
the create will be disabled. You need to swing back and enable it and set the
password.
2. If a single domain
adfind -default -f
"(objectcategory=person)(samaccountname=*)" -dn
NOTE: That may pull trust accounts to, I don't have
trusts set up on my home domain to check.
If multiple domain forest
adfind -h dcname -default -f
"(objectcategory=person)(samaccountname=*)" -dn
or
adfind-b dc=domain,dc=com-f
"(objectcategory=person)(samaccountname=*)" -dn
NOTE: Same
note.
If you do get trusts as
well, you need to filter them out andat 1:53AM the thing I think you would
do is add a (!samaccountname=*$) which really sucks because !'s kill search
time.
The first single domain query yanked my 2034
userids in my home domain in about 5 seconds. That is with a PIII-930 with 512
MB running about 10 normal apps(one isVPC 5.2 with a Windows Server 2003
Enterprise guest fired up and allocated 64MB RAM) against my W2K DC which is
PII-450 w/ 128MB RAM.

It's a great book.
Two questions: 1) did you guru's here on activedir come to
the conclusion that, due to password complexity, a user should be created
disabled? Does that affect any recipes other than 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3? 2) I think
you should add one of the simplest and (in my opinion) the most common AD query
as a recipe: how to find all the users in a domain.

I
thought you would think that was a good thought. But you have a good point to
counter that good thought. I should submit something, I wouldn't mind being in
the acknow. err wait a minute. How about this, people who are already in it
can submit something and pick one person to be removed from the
acknowledgements... Oh Rick :op
Hmmm
what could I submit... Oh I know, something I had to do today really quick...
Find all OU's with any GPO link whatsoever...
First
off I wondered, is gplink in the GC?
adfind
-schema -f ldapdisplayname=gplink
ismemberofpartialattributeset
Gets
you
dn:CN=GP-Link,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=joehome,DC=comisMemberOfPartialAttributeSet:
TRUE
So it
sure is... This is easy!
adfind
-gc -b -f "(objectcategory=organizationalunit)(gplink=*)"
gplink
On my
home domain that rips off in less than a second...
dn:OU=Domain Controllers,DC=joehome,DC=comgPLink:
[LDAP://CN={6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=joehome,DC=com;0]
dn:OU=Cmps,DC=joehome,DC=comgPLink:
[LDAP://CN={61CF67FA-41FA-415C-B349-E7D182BDD54F},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=joehome,DC=com;0]
Oh ok,
you now want to know what the nice name of those are...
adfind
-b
CN={6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=joehome,DC=com
-s base displayname
and
adfind
-b
CN={61CF67FA-41FA-415C-B349-E7D182BDD54F},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=joehome,DC=com
-s base
I
don't recall those exact examples in the book. :op
Can
anyone guess how often I use adfind in the course of a normal
workday?
Me
neither. But I have wrapped it with a couple of batch files.
The
first is called findthis.cmd
It
takes whatever I enter and basically does a
adfind
-gc -b -f name=%1 -dn
I also
have a kids.cmd
adfind
-gc -b %1 -s one -f * -dn
and
also I have a get
adfind
-b %1 -s base
Ok
that is enough, I don't want to hurt anyone. ;o)

Hey
Rob,
What about this
donate a cookbook a month for someone who comes up with a great idea for
additions to the next version of the cookbook.
Basically the
submissions have to follow the format of the book, and have to work.
They would be judge
based on the following criteria.
The topic covered in
AD. 1-25 points (Existing topics with a spin get up to 12.5 points; new
topics getting up to 25 if worthy.)
The issues identified
within the topic 1-25 points. (Each issue identified gets 2.5 points for
existing topics. Max 10)
The solutions that
meet the needs identified for each topic. 1-50 points. (Each need that
gets a solution gets 5 points per solutions. Solutions should identify
any GUI, CLI, and VB methods for automation.)
To make things
interesting if it takes off, If one of the vendors (CoughNETPRO,
CoughAELITA, Cough.Quest, Cough..BV) was willing to support this
contest, it would be really interesting.
Just an Idea at
1AM...

Basically the submissions have to follow the format of the book, and have to work. They would be judge based on the following criteria. The topic covered in AD. 1-25 points (Existing topics with a spin get up to 12.5 points; new topics getting up to 25 if worthy.) The issues identified within the topic 1-25 points. (Each issue identified gets 2.5 points for existing topics. Max 10) The solutions that meet the needs identified for each topic. 1-50 points. (Each need that gets a solution gets 5 points per solutions. Solutions should identify any GUI, CLI, and VB methods for automation.) To make things interesting if it takes off, If one of the vendors (CoughNETPRO, CoughAELITA, Cough.Quest, Cough..BV) was willing to support this contest, it would be really interesting. Just an Idea at 1AM...

RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Cookbook
Title: RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Cookbook Dan, What are the topics in PKI architecture you want to understand? What issue are you trying to solve using PKI in your organization? What are the specific needs in your organization and what Windows 200x services do you want to deploy to meet those needs? Here are a couple of basic topics to think about. Outsourcing verses In-house operations. Self-signed CA verse Commercial. Look to mix here, and select a vendor to partner with for Public website. Automated Enrollment, verses manual enrollment. Identity proof. Reporting. (There is a lack of reporting tools available for reporting on PKI information, have to create custom reports.) Monitoring CRL availability, and CA Server availability. Windows 200x feature that use PKI. Public / Private use of PKI Hardware to support more advanced operations. Roaming profiles, verses Local Profiles. Certificates are stored in the User profile. Good idea for the user to be able to access their profile from any Wintel box. How to troubleshoot the service and the subordinate applications. How to maintain the service. That's all I can think of at 1am.
