Adfind will only work against a single server (and to any referred servers).


Something like this would be an entirely different tool and would have to be
multithreaded to have any kind of realistic performance once you got above
30 or so DCs with just a few IDs. 

I am kind of curious what the end result you are looking for though or for
what purpose. I.E. What would be the thing that was helpful to you if you
knew a list of DCs where IDs had lots of bad passwords at?

Lockouts are usually traced onesy-twosy so this doesn't seem to fit. And
that can actually still be done fairly efficiently singlethreaded though it
is much better done multithreaded. 

I am also, as an aside, trying to visualize a generic reason to do an ldap
query against all DCs in a domain from one command. That is something that
might fit into the realm of something adfind should do but the results would
be rather confusing I think.

Maybe this is a feature request or already implemented I don't know but here
it goes.  Could ADFind go after all domain controllers and retrieve the
persons or a collective bunch of people badpassword count attribute value.
According to the docs I've noticed this attribute isn't replicated and is a
bit of a pain to collective manually for a bunch of people.  I know about
the LockoutStatus tool by MS but that is for only one person. Doesn't help
when doing 100+.

In case you haven't noticed, Windows NT Mag got renamed yet again. Now it is
the Windows IT Pro mag and is on newsstands now. Robbie has a good article
in there about AD command line tools. :o)

Also FYI, completely redesigned my website. 

Any update requests for admod/adfind/oldcmp and any of the others that you
feel you really want, send now as I will be finishing up a book tech review
pretty quickly and looking to do something creative.
