Hyper-V Beta And RC0

Problems with upgrading to RC0:
Had to recreate the virtual machine definitions after upgrading from the beta Hyper-V to RC0. Later found the link below:

Using DSQUERY To List User Without Exchange Accounts

This command searches the active directory for users accounts which don’t have an exchange account as indicated by a blank/null homeMDB property.

dsquery * “dc=example,dc=com” -filter “(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!homeMDB=*))” -limit 0 | dsget user -samid -dn -disabled

Using DSQUERY To List Bad Password Count

List Bad Password Count
This can be handy to quickly determine if there is some sort of password attack taking place on a domain.

The command searches all records in the domain “*” which match the filter of being a user account and returns the specified attributes which include bad password count.

Note that the property badPasswordTime is raw a requires processing to turn in to a format of date time (see http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/topics/win2003/lastlogon.mspx).

Also the attribute is not replicated between domain controllers so each one will need to be queried.

The command below performs a query filtering for user objects and returning attributes from the user account to help idenify the account.

dsquery * “dc=example,dc=com” -filter “(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))” -attr sAMAccountName badPwdCount badPasswordTime userAccountControl distinguishedName -limit 0 -s servername.example.com

The list from the above command could be quite long so you would probably want to redirect the out put to a text file by modify the command line to:

dsquery * “dc=example,dc=com” -filter “(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))” -attr sAMAccountName badPwdCount badPasswordTime userAccountControl distinguishedName -limit 0 -s servername.example.com > c:\temp\dsquery_badpwdcount.txt
