[OT]: RE: [ActiveDir] Finding things in the AD Users/Computers

As it should be. All of the advanced view everything features should be enabled on servers and any workstations that get admin tools installed on them. I don't understand the MS thought to hide things from admin level users in the gui's and making them learn enough to turn the stuff on. It is similar in basic concept to the old idea that they should enable all functionality by default and let the admin figure out what they could turn off. Thankfully they have reversed that thinking and now make the admin learn enough to turn it on. Maybe someone is thinking that they should display everything by default as well and make the admin figure out how to filter things out from being seen so they KNOW what is being filtered out.   One of my largest pet peeves on MS products is having to go in and change all of the explorer settings on a server so I can actually see file extensions and all the files.   Of course not everyone hates that, it is good for the people writing virii and trojans.     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Kingslan Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 8:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Finding things in the AD Users/Computers Dave,   Thanks for the catch - I completely forgot the Advanced Features.....  It's become ubiquitous on my systems....
