RE: [ActiveDir] Softerra's LDAP Browser

Joe, Suggest you try it http://www.ldapbrowser.com/  Very handy tool when you are working with multiple LDAP directories.  Our SimpleSync customers find it very helpful to set up and verify attribute flow.

As usual, I learned something more than I bargained for. Tom, I understood the implications of changing MaxPageSize, and that’s not an option for us because our directory is too big – as well as for the reasons some of the others pointed out. But I just sent a suggestion to Softerra about adding paging as an enhancement, or to point out how to do it if the capability already exists. If they respond, I’ll share the info.   In the mean time, I remembered reading about a nice Excel add-in (Marco’s Excel Management Macro, or MEMM) that does many of the same things LDAP browser would do, and it will allow paging the result set. If anyone is interested, I found it here: http://bink.nu/Article3399.bink   Thanks again for the help and advice   <mc> This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.
