Re: [ActiveDir] Cleaning Up AD
A couple of weeks ago i 'attended' a webinar from NetPro called: 16 Steps to a Healthier and Happier Active Directory http://www.netpro.com/company/events.cfm It is a very good overview of the tasks involved in getting AD to smile. It seems like the link from NetPro's website sends you to http://searchwindowssecurity.bitpipe.com/webcasts but i don't see it archived there ... maybe Gil can chime in with a location?

The link on our page is screwed up, and so is the TechTarget search engine. I'll post a working link as soon as I find it. -gil -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Singler Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 7:58 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Cleaning Up AD A couple of weeks ago i 'attended' a webinar from NetPro called: 16 Steps to a Healthier and Happier Active Directory http://www.netpro.com/company/events.cfm It is a very good overview of the tasks involved in getting AD to smile.

RE: [ActiveDir] Cleaning Up AD
What resources (utils, whitepapers etc) have people been using to clean up an AD infrastructure? It depends. If I am in a hurry, I just put it in my trunk and go to the nearest drive-through car wash. If I have time on my hand, I drive it to the friendly neighborhood Laundromat. Either way, it comes back clean. OK, a smiley should go here. The point is Clean AD is as vague as vague could be. What do you want to clean today?
