Since you only have 2 objects, this shouldn't be too bad. There are probably ways to further automate it if you keep plugging away.
First, convert the objectGuid to a hex string. Split the guid from the the ADC log entry into pairs, like this: A8 BE B3 A2 C3 1B 42 B2 B8 43 93 47 9F 02 CB 41 If you assign indices to the pairs like this, 1=A8, 2=BE, 3=B3, 4=A2 and then rearrange to this index order 4 3 2 1 6 5 8 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 You'll end up with A2 B3 BE A8 1B C3 B2 42 B8 43 93 47 9F 02 CB 41 Now go to www.joeware.net/win32/index.html and download ADFind. Unzip it, and from a command line run C:\adfind -b dc=yourdomain,dc=com -s subtree -f "objectguid=\A2\B3\BE\A8\1B\C3\B2\42\B8\43\93\47\9F\02\CB\41" Make sure to replace "dc=yourdomain,dc=com" with your domain. You'll need to include the "\" delimitters as well, and you may want to pipe the output to a text file. Open the text file and you should have a bunch of attributes for the object, including Display Name and others that will be easy to identify the object by.

I have two objects in AD that my ADC can't modify, but it won't tell me anything about them accept their GUID as in: ***Begin Log*** LDAP Modify on directory mygc.mydomain.com for entry '<GUID=A8BEB3A2-C31B-42B2-B843-93479F02CB41>' was unsuccessful with error:[0x34] Unavailable. DC=mydomain,DC=com ***End Log MS suggests that it is a problem with unmatched smtp addresses, but I can't figure out how to find the object to manually correct any incorrect entries. I suspect I could find it with LDP if I knew more about it. Any suggestions? ________________________________ Bob Reasoner Harris County Public Health & Environmental Services _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
