I would love to see some better tools related to delegation, or rather, 'un-delegation.' It's relatively easy to delegate AD permissions, but somewhat more difficult to remove them (or even view what's been delegated already). Some sort of Delegation Viewer or Un-Delegate tool would be very welcome.
Integration with Exchange would be great too. I'm new to Exchange, and it's been challenging for me to figure out what permissions some of the other admin staff really need to manage users' Exchange mailboxes. --Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of joe Sent: Tue 8/2/2005 11:24 To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] Biggest AD Gripes So what are everyone's biggest AD Gripes? I am not talking about gripes about things that use AD like GPOs[1] or Exchange or NFS or anything else like that. I mean actual AD really missed the boat because of this that or the other thing. Like o I dislike that when you defunct an attribute it doesn't purge the information in the directory for that attribute. o The fact that AD Security policy is managed through a technology dependent on AD and replicates both within AD and the other technology. o I dislike that there is no true schema delete. o I dislike the fact that I can't specify which branches of the tree replicate where. o I dislike the fact that GUIDs are represented in multiple ways in the directory. o I dislike the implementation of property sets especially since they could be so incredible awesomely cool. Specifically I dislike that an attribute can only be in a single property set. o I dislike creator/owner on SDs. o I dislike the lack of configurable business rules. o I dislike the fact that I can't run multiple domains on a single domain controller. Etc etc. I have more but lets see what others say. Everyone pipe up. Let's pretend that MS will actually see this, let's further say let's pretend MS AD Developers will see this. What would you tell them if you were sitting in the room with them? joe [1] I do not consider GPOs to be part of AD. They are a technology that leverages AD.
