Interesting... Add -exterr on the command and post the result. That will have the DSID as well as some more error info which is useful for chasing things like that down. I doubt there is anything I can do but can go look at the source to see what it says is going on.
You should see -dotcount info on the /csv? Usage screen. It is only there for counting the lines that are piped into it so is not what you want. What you want it to do, however, is an interesting idea though and I have added it to the list of possible future mods. joe -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of F.

In any case, I am using admod -rm -unsafe and I get something of this sort after a while: >admod -b OU=megaou,<FULL_DN> -rm -treedelete -h .:50000 -unsafe AdMod V01.07.00cpp Joe Richards ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) October 2006 DN Count: 1 Using server: tstadamdc.tstadam.local:389 Directory: Active Directory Application Mode Deleting specified objects...

The command did not complete successfully .. Also, I finally found the reference to a "progress status" switch in admod over at http://blog.joeware.net/2006/09/23/631/, but I don't see any "dotcount" switch or similar in the admod usage screen of in the docs in joeware except for a reference in the tool's version history.... Thanks a lot again.. Javier -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de F.

Sorry for answering myself, and also for forgetting to set a subject to my previous email (Sould-ve been "Deleting an OU in AD and AD/AM with 1,000,000++ users").... I have taken the time to re-read the help screens (I did read them all, I swear. I mean, how did I learn about -sc adau if not? ;) and I have found about the -treedelete switch that seems to be what I am looking for (I knew it had to be there somewhere; admod would not *really* let you shoot yourself in the foot if there was no way to really wipe a domain from it). In any case, my previous question about "progress signs" stands. In this case, I have two instances of admod happily chugging away (one is deleting the users in AD; other in ADAM) but no sign of what they are doing, other than the fact that the VM hosting the domain and ADAM is seriously tasked. Thanks a lot, and sorry for the unnecesary blunder. J -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de F. Javier Jarava Enviado el: jueves, 02 de noviembre de 2006 18:38 Para: [email protected] Asunto: [ActiveDir] Hi all!! I've been stress-testing some utilities we use internally, specifically a tool to "sync" users from AD to AD/AM (ok, not exactly sync; we just need a user/computer object with the same names that those in AD). For the purpose, I have created an OU in AD that I then filled with 1000000+ users (admod -sc adau:1000000;SomePassword1;CN=.... a couple of times ). The tool survived the beating, but now I want to delete the OU and the users within, both in AD and ADAM. I thought that: admod -b "OU_DN" -rm Would do the trick but it complains that it can't delete a non-leaf (otherwise understandable). ADUC and ADAM-ADSIEdit let me say "delete", but they take in the order of ages (they are at it now). Users&Comp. seems to hang, and ADSIEdit every now and then comes up with a message box saying: --------------------------- ADAM-ADSIEdit --------------------------- The tree deletion is not finished. The request must be made again to continue deleting the tree. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- I click OK, select "delete" again on the OU, and on it goes... My question is, I "know" that there has to be a better/quicker way to do this that does not involve "listing" all objetct and piping them to admod? Thanks a lot. Javier Jarava PS: For bonus "points", I seem to recall some post on joe's blog about having "progress dots" in admod that show objetcts being modified.. But I wasn't able to find the proper switch in the docs, so when I created 1000000 users I got 1000000 DNs shown on screen. So, what is the proper option to say "don't print all progress, just a running % or something like that"?? Thanks a bunch again.
