-----Original Message----- From: Mike Leone [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 9:11 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Odd group name in AD As part of a Lotus upgrade project, the consultants have been making LDAP caalls to AD, to lookup users, and get the list of groups they belong to. And we've noticed a user with some groups that look like this: "CN=Remote Control Operators\0ACNF:ea55fc7c-26e5-4d90-8203-a9ef411402f6,CN=Users,DC=...." What's with the slash in the group name? I don't recognize this type of entry at all. How can I track it down? Note that I don't see them on the "Member of" tab in AD U&C, but am seeing them in an LDAP lookup ... >dsget user "cn=The User Name,ou=..." -memberof -expand "CN=Remote Control Operators,CN=Users,DC=..." "CN=Remote Control Operators\0ACNF:ea55fc7c-26e5-4d90-8203-a9ef411402f6,CN=Users,DC=..." "CN=Remote Control Operators\0ACNF:e1468d9f-9e7c-4e6c-ba84-4fa83bde3f05,CN=Users,DC=..." "CN=Remote Control Operators\0ACNF:072ae809-02fc-45e1-979a-d431a46a8919,CN=Users,DC=..." "CN=Remote Control Operators\0ACNF:017ec349-8a66-4e57-8737-5f42536c5937,CN=Users,DC=..." "CN=Remote Control Operators\0ACNF:42b12dc8-c08e-47d8-9a0c-6eb681f81fc8,CN=Users,DC=..." Can anyone shed any light on these type of entries? I've snipped out the rest of the groups, all of which look normal.
