I agree. But LDAP browser is also freeware. Just another option…

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Softerra's LDAP Browser

 

I’ve never used the Softerra browser, so I may be missing something, but what exactly does it do that you can’t get with ldp.exe for free?  The nice thing about ldp is that is has support for ALL of the MS proprietary SASL bind mechanisms and nice support for all of the special controls such a paging, VLV, ASQ, deleted items, etc. that AD supports.  The never versions also have really nice support for mapping many AD datatypes to “friendly strings”, which saves you a lot of time.

 

Granted, it isn’t super-pretty, but it gets the job done.  Once you change the default font, it is prettier.

Thanks for an excellent discussion guys. 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
