  • LDAP to find users with Remote Access Privileges

    We have all been in the position where we have started a new job with an existing organization where security was somewhat lax. Inevitably during the process of locking the network down you have to deal with the VPN / Dial-up access problem. The first step is to determine who already has access. This is fairly easy to accomplish using LDAP filters. (&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(msNPAllowDialin=TRUE)) This filter will show you all of the user accounts that have Allow Access checked...
  • MS ExMerge error 0x8004011d

    When trying to export a mailbox to a PST, I received the following error in ExMerge : Error opening message store (MSEMS). Verify that the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service is running and that you have the correct permissions to log on. (0x8004011d) I verified the account I was using to export the mailbox had full control over the database per http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/guides/UseE2k3RecStorGrps/1ed0d5af-7dff-4cc3-9a05-f46d292ac5f4.mspx . This did not seem to...
  • Exchange 2003 Query Based Distribution Lists

    This week I was faced with finding a way to clean up a few of the query based distribution lists that were created by a previous consultant group. The major problem with the queries is that they didn't take into account the dynamics of organizational turn over. The query based DL's were configured to send to every object that had an email address in that exchange store for each OU. This meant that NDR's (Non Deliverable Reciepts) were being sent for every disabled account in those OU's...
  • Active Directory Custom Filters

    Over the last month I have been working more intensely with Windows 2003 Active Directory. In this process I have found the need to create custom filters to make finding objects and updating security policies easier. So thought it would be helpful to others to share my set of custom filters. To use these filters you need to open the ADUC snap in and right click on Saved Queries. Select 'New' then 'Query'. Click the 'Define Query' button. A new window will open. In the Find...
  • Dynamic Page Titles for ASP.Net

    I was wondering if there was a clean way to programatically control the page title in ASP.Net. This is helpful with search engine optimizing techniques. I found a few examples across the web. I tried out a couple and to me, this solution seemed to be a very efficient way to handle the problem. In the HTML remove the existing <title></title> tags and replace it with the following: <asp:PlaceHolder id="titlePlaceHolder" runat="server" /> In the Code Behind add...
