LOL. Thanks for the heads up Rick. I guess I need to walk on up to Border's now and buy the darn thing. I used to have a subscription to them for several years but I let it drop as they were getting more and more expensive and I was finding less and less value.
I hate it when they write me up and don't let me know ahead of time... ;oP I am a little surprised that was published as it is kind of a repeat. Robbie did a top 5 must have command line tools article in Windows IT Pro mag a little while back[1] and joeware was 1,2, and 3. The specific tools were adfind, admod, and oldcmp and the tools got several pages of text in that article. Oh, also if you aren't aware, the Windows Server Cookbook is now out for purchase, including the world famous chapter 17 with some Exchange recipes that I wrote. You know it has to be good because I started with an analogy in the chapter intro.... "If you like analogies, SMTP/POP3 services are to Exchange what the Model-T is to the modern automobile. You can certainly recognize the basic pieces but there have been notable extensions to those pieces to make the product more flexible and powerful for today's needs."[2] I need to start making money off this joeware thing... joe [1] I actually think it was the first time they used that name but it may have been a special edition. Interestingly enough I recall the article was on page 66. I recall that because I thought Robbie should have done top 6 tools so he could have had a 666 combo there... No one has written up the extremely popular unlock in a big way in a magazine yet[3]. [2] Windows Server Cookbook, page 542. [3] That I am aware of... Though there is a nice blurb in AD Cookbook, recipe 6.9. I won't explain why I remember that recipe number[4]. [4] Completely unneeded footnote[5]. [5] Too much caffeine today... Writing up internal corporate KBs and documentation and I "caffeined" up to keep going. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kingslan, Rick T.

Well, OK - maybe not 'joe', but ADFind and ADMod get a nod in Sean Deuby's feature article on command-line control of your servers. On page 67, Sean deals with third-party tools. First up - ADFind and ADMod. "AdFind and AdMod are two powerful, easy-to-use freeware utilities by Joe Richards." Roughly three paragraphs on how to best use the tools is a realy NICE nod, IMHO. (It goes on to discuss and praise the massive usefulness of the tools and that they ought to be on every DC everywhere.) Ok, maybe that last part was an embellishment. Good job joe, you big stud you!
