Heheh - I love Captain Crunch :) Eric knows about the app. The backup currently can only be run when you on the DC (does not need to be in DSRM it can run while DC is online) ****HOWEVER I figured out how to use VSS which allows remote backups of the DC. But there are still other obstacles :S
This by no means is a :P look what I can do, like I told Eric when I was chatting to him about this I was interested in the DIT so I tried to figure things out. Like I am interested in the replication module now but still haven't a clue :P or close to the clue I would like to have Can you define "single user mode"? "Maybe I should warn Carlos not to accept any visitors from Microsoft?" HEHEHE I would love visitors remember I am a geek I don't get to see many people :P, I would love to learn more. *****DISCLAMER***** Again this app was not designed for any other reasons than merely trying to figure out something's in the DIT :) Joe - and you didn't comment on the other tools :P - shame on you!

LOL. Part of me is thinking, oh cool! Go Carlos! Part of me is thinking, oh crap! Darn you Carlos! Part of me is thinking, I wonder what the security ramifications are of this functionality? Besides the obvious ones about passwords w/ reversible encryption of course. Part of me is thinking, wow, I know a bunch of people just perked up when they read that they can extract the reversible passwords out in clear text... Part of me is thinking, you probably have to be in single user mode for this to work on a current AD DIT. At least I hope so. Which will make most of the people who perked up before go back to sleep. Part of me is thinking, I wonder what Brett and ~Eric are thinking and Stuart of the Ottawa Kwan Clan is thinking (assuming he is still lurking). Maybe I should warn Carlos not to accept any visitors from Microsoft? Part of me is thinking, what should I have for breakfast? Captain Crunch? :o) joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carlos Magalhaes Sent: Friday, April 29, 2005 5:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] [OT] ESE API Documention.... Joe, Check - http://www.dirteam.com/dirteam/site/3338/default.aspx out, look right at the bottom for "Active Directory Power Tool" this is the dit decompiler I built using a lot of these functions. The funky part (depending on how you look at it and knowing you Joe this wont be funky) it was built in .net :) It allows you to rip open the dit and have a look inside. I haven't exposed the meta data inside the dit as I am working on different version that will use the meta. I built it for both AD and ADAM (same type of structures). One interesting part is as you can see this application will automatically expose all Reversible Encrypted passwords stored in the database. But I agree this is a great portal.
