RE: [ActiveDir] OldCmp question

[Tony Murray]

Hi Russ   Just out of idle curiosity, I would be interested to know why you decided to extend the schema to flag all service accounts.  I’ve seen organisations use a specific naming convention to identify service accounts before, but never adding a new attribute.   Tony   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rimmerman, Russ Sent: Tuesday, 16 May 2006 8:38 a.m. To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OldCmp question   I ended up using oldcmp -report -age 120 -users -f "(&(objectcategory=person)(objectclass=user)(!(ourAttribute=TRUE)))" And it seemed to work.   Thanks   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 2:50 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OldCmp question -af "(!(ourProperty=TRUE))"   It would be more efficient and faster for the query to actually set all of the non-service accounts to FALSE so then you can do   -af "(ourProperty=FALSE)"     NOT filters aren't the greatest for efficiency plus you can get false positives because an account that you can't see the ourProperty value on due to security will be reported even if it has ourProperty set to TRUE.        joe   -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm        From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rimmerman, Russ Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 3:32 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] OldCmp question I've created a new boolean schema property to flag all of our service accounts in our AD domain.   I've gone through and set the boolean to "TRUE" to all the service accounts.   Now I want to use oldcmp to go through and find all the ones that aren't "TRUE" and meet other criteria.  I've determined I can do an -af ourProperty=TRUE and show the accounts that are service accounts, but I want any that are NOT service accounts.  I tried -af ourProperty=" " and "" and -af ourProperty="<not set>" and nothing seems to work.  Any ideas?   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This e-mail is confidential, may contain proprietary information of Cameron and its operating Divisions and may be confidential or privileged.
