RE: [ActiveDir] Lost and found

[Kern, Tom]

I'm running a win2k domain. No win2k3 dc's.   The lastKnowParent property has no value.   thanks -----Original Message----- From: Dean Wells [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 8:44 PM To: Send - AD mailing list Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Lost and found Not quite, your statement is true ... but only to a point.  Assuming the origin of the move operation was a 2K3 DC, the lastKnownParent will indeed be populated ... the attribute serves a greater purpose than most documentation will elude to. -- Dean Wells MSEtechnology * Email: dwells@msetechnology.com http://msetechnology.com   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 8:34 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Lost and found I think lastKnownParent is only available on objects deleted on a K3 DC. I.E. If an object hasn't been deleted and if that deletion didn't occur on a K3 DC, it wouldn't be populated.   I agree with Dean though, unless the parent of the object was deleted, the object shouldn't hit the lost & found. Basically things go to lost and found if someone makes a change to an object in a container that is no longer existent but hasn't replicated to the DC where the object has been changed yet. I am not sure if a DN name change of the container would impact this. I would look to Eric for that info.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean Wells Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 7:36 PM To: Send - AD mailing list Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Lost and found I'm uncertain since I've never tried, have you attempted to read the attribute to determine what it currently contains? -- Dean Wells MSEtechnology * Email: dwells@msetechnology.com http://msetechnology.com   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 7:18 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Lost and found Unfortunately, an admin moved the group back to its ou already. is there anything i can do from here? thanks -----Original Message----- From: Dean Wells [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue 6/14/2005 6:12 PM To: Send - AD mailing list Cc: Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Lost and found
