Comment on Apache 2.2 and Active Directory and Group restrictions by Darren W

Thanks! I was also having issues with trying to determine what the correct OU path for groups and users was in our AD configurations. I was pretty familar with openLDAP in UNIX but was pretty lost trying to figure out how to find that correct path in Windows. I didn't know about the cvsde tool and that looks like a pretty good way also. I used a different tool, called dsquery.

I found the tool called dsquery, from command prompt

> dsquery user -name Teddy*
"CN=Teddy Ronalds,OU=Dallas,OU=UserAccounts,DC=dol,DC=local"

or for groups
> dsquery group -name testgroup*
"CN=TestGroupAdmins,OU=MMU,OU=Group Accounts,DC=dol,DC=local"

Nice article though, super helpful!!

Comment on AT&T Sucks, I’m finding another provider! by A P.E. in Texas

A P.E. in Texas — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 07:08:04 +0000

Just moved to Houston, TX. AT&T is the land line provider here. I have their DSL and land line. The DSL started off poorly, but is now running OK. The phone service however does not even work. No dial tone. This is over the same pair of wires. That's right, the same stinking pair of wires, and AT&T tells me that the problem is on my end. Their technicians do not know what the hell they are doing. In less then a week, everything is FUBAR. Customer service? Forget it. The automated menu is useless. It is now to the point where if I get a hold of a real AT&T person, I will sound like R. Lee Ermey. Extra salty.

AT&T, CAN YOU DO YOUR (censored) JOB, YOU PATHETIC MAGGOT?

Nice post. I noticed you didn't label the checkboxes for the OS, you may want to edit your post to make the UI more user-friendly. See also http://giraffesoft.ca/blog/200...
