That's interesting. As far as I can tell, the adminsdholder is just a
process that runs on the PDCe that wakes up and checks for all objects that
have admincount set to 1. For each it finds, it ensures that they reflect
the permissions set according to the adminsdholder reference.
My first pass at this would be to do likewise with a custom app vs. trying
to piggy back on the adminsdholder routine. The reason I say this is that I
wouldn't want any kind of confusion in the settings and it's generally not a
recommended solution to modify the adminsdholder. Can be very bad if you do
so incorrectly.
Any reason a script or other app wouldn't be a choice? I realize you're
looking for apps that already exist first, but just curious what the
boundaries are. :)

Subject: [ActiveDir] Protecting objects not covered by AdminSDHolder
Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2005 16:16:24 -0000
[I appreciate and understand the role of adminsdholder and sdprop and
which objects it protects and how etc etc.]
I'm sure the answer to my question will be 'no' but I have to ask in any
case :)
Can additional groups and/or user objects be added to the scope of
sdprop and adminsdholder, so that they are protected as are other
objects, such as members of the Domain Admins group?
I have additional groups which are protected today by virtue of being in
a segregated OU, where special permissions are applied. I would rather
protect these objects with adminsdholder, which I find to be a more
robust (and enforced) approach.
Is this possible? Are there plans to add the functionality in later
editions (Longhorn) perhaps?
Thanks,
neil
