LOL. Ok, so has this thread finished up? If so, I will try to go through them and summarize and then send off to the appropriate folks at MS.
Bueller... Bueller.......... Bueller..................... BTW, I just received a hard copy version of Active Directory Third Edition from FedEx so it looks like the book is now being printed. Doesn't appear to be on Amazon yet though it is on the O'Reilly site (and has been for a bit actually). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich Milburn Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 9:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] ADUC updates - Was Expired Accounts > Note that the ones you don't submit will most likely not be implemented... Ah but that's not necessarily true - there are about 10 ideas I remembered about right after they were posted, so I didn't have to post them myself :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2006 6:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] ADUC updates - Was Expired Accounts > I have hundreds of more ideas, but not enough time to put them all down. Thanks for what you did submit. Note that the ones you don't submit will most likely not be implemented. ;o) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc A. Mapplebeck Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2006 4:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] ADUC updates - Was Expired Accounts OK, Here goes: 1. Ability to bulk set passwords, I have 6 generic limited access accounts for users that forget their smartcards, but the passwords are generated on a daily basis, and I just hate setting it on all 6, I suppose a simple script would do this, but I would love to see integrated so that I do not have to modify the schema display specifiers. 2. Easily add fields to the ADUC property pages, I believe this was mentioned in being MMC2. 3. Easily add items to the context menu without having to manually edit the display specifier of the schema. I have hundreds of more ideas, but not enough time to put them all down. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: January 12, 2006 11:22 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] ADUC updates - Was Expired Accounts Well, ok, lets do this. Everyone who has an idea for a change to ADUC post to the ideas to this thread. Don't be shy, you may have thought of something no one else would think of that once seeing it would go this is very cool. Then when the thread seems to die (or some point after that when I catch up :oP ) I will summarize to make sure I understand and then post to LadyBug as improvements that could be made. Also, you may or may not be shocked to hear that many of the folks working on the stuff in Redmond actually watch this list on a regular basis too so they may see it directly. I know the conversation we had previously about suggested improvements to AD was watched pretty closely and generated several DCRs without me even arguing with anyone. So let's hear it. First item on the table is different icons flagging accounts (and I am stating this generically) that are not currently live. This includes disabled, locked, expired passwords, expired accounts? Would this be better to add maybe as additional columns that you could tell the GUI to sort on? Or the icons are best? Note to Dean: This is D's bailywick now isn't it? I think I recall us having this conversation at BB. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thommes, Michael M.

How do you want the GUI to present things to you. The developers or whomever wrote the spec for the developers didn't feel it should. You also have to ask if accounts with locked passwords should show up that way and define if you mean expired accounts or expired passwords on accounts and whether or not you would differentiate them in that marking. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas M.
