Best way to delete entries in LDAP
Prolonged meaning that it probably took a bit of time to process all those deletes (not ongoing performance issues) - and that if the directory services a lot of requests it can slow overall performance for end users or applications. Since it's done now you have NO worries The alternative way... -
Best way to delete entries in LDAP
10,000 is quite a few to iterate through - remembering especially that this could lead to a prolonged performance degradation. Depending on what directory server you are using, it is sometimes more efficient to reimport the ldif without the 10,000 people. -Chris Larivee -
AD users not appearing in LDAP query
Just a guess but you are probably reaching the admin limits configured in AD. The limits (usually size and time) are there to improve performance to LDAP queries. You need to specify a client side page to allow the query to complete, change the AD constraint through the ntdsutil (not... -
Universal Address Book Format ?
Didn't ThunderBird give you the LDIF when you exported? You can add and even subtract some fields - but your schema must support the new fields you add. -Chris Larivee -
chdir to UNC path
As a workaround in the past I have cheated by calling a system NET USE command within some scripts to map the drive then execute. Once complete I would drop the mapped drive ... not sure if that would work for you ... not sure if you want it to ... -Chris Larivee -
Synchronise two directories (LDAP)
Not sure if I fully understand the details of the problem. Maybe if you could try to answer these questions? 1. What are the vendors and versions of BOTH directory servers (LDAP server)? 2. Are both servers able to accept writes to the directory (to the LDAP servers)? 3. Replication occurs... -
Need some help with LDAP Queries
Well - unfortunately you don't have much to go on. My only suggestion would be to: a) try binding with the userPricipalName of the user (something like firsttel@intranet.wmheart.com or firsttel@wmheart.com) b) upping the search base to the ou=WMHeart level (but only if the wizard or... -
LDAP query referencing department field
You have to load the MMC tool for AD schema administration, find the attribute, and set the security to everyone - read access. All by memory of when I used to do real work - so there may be some other steps in there ... -Chris Larivee -
Outlook 2003 and invisible address book
Depends on the client you are using - even Microsoft's clients handle the address book differently. Outlook should - by default - return all entries that match (&(mail=*)(cn=*)) in a subtree search under the search base you provided during configuration. It should do this when you open the... -
Universal Address Book Format ?
If you are importing to an LDAP server it would likely be easier to export into an LDIF and then import it directly into LDAP. If you do address book to csv you would have to convert csv to ldif format anyway. However, you may get errors if your LDAP schema does not match objectclass defs and... -
help for a newbie -ldapadd
-x means use simple authentication - without it you are attempting a SASL bind. You should just toss the password into the command (-w instead of -W) until you have uploaded a few entries -Chris Larivee -
perl script not recognized
Did you add perl to your path? If so you should open a NEW command prompt and run it (path won't be updated for an open cmd prompt during installation). From that point you should simply be able to type script.pl .... -Chris Larivee -
LDAP Validation Problem
-D? You need to specify the user as well ... -W is only for the password ... -Chris Larivee -
LDAP and Dns
DNS is an application specific repository of data, highly tuned for name resolution. DNS and directory services are very similar in nature - but normal resolution for DNS runs over UDP whereas directory services use LDAP protocol to submit queries and are tuned for different purposes... -
LDAP Attribute
Off the top of my head - I don't think so. The best you can do retrycountresettime - which lets you know the last time a user successfully logged in after failing to bind. Not very helpful at all ... -Chris Larivee
