In most cases IT administrators set permissions on folders and then all files within simply inherit permissions from their parent folder. However, sometimes files might unintentionally have inheritance disabled or they might have additional permissions on top of the inherited permissions that should not be there (this can be caused by files being moved rather than copied). So this tool has been developed to help easily locate files that are either not inheriting permissions or do not have identical permissions to their parent folder.

I’m often asked if I can include attributes from a user’s Terminal Services Profile tab in their AD properties in AD Info and AD Tidy, but for whatever reason MS decided to store these attributes in a very strange format so it is not easy. I’ve finally spent some time on it and got something working now and thought I would share my results (and frustration) with the rest of the community in case it helps anyone else out.

I recently made this little tool as a favour for someone that wanted a simple alternative to giving first line support technicians access to the full AD Users & Computers MMC tool when all they needed to do was reset passwords or unlock accounts. I figured others might find it useful so its now available to download from my website.
I’m considering making a tool for tracking/auditing user logons, as this is something people often ask me to make, but there’s one thing I want to get your opinions on first.

Anyone following this blog will know that for the last couple of months I’ve been busy working away on re-writing AD Tidy from scratch – and I’m pleased to announce that it is getting very close to being finished, so I have now released a public BETA version.
Recently I posted a couple of screenshots of the new version of AD Tidy that I’m currently working on, and in this post I’m going to explain more about the new features and capabilities of this new version.

This week has been my first week of being completely self employed and not working as an IT systems admin during the day, so I’ve spent the last few days working on the new version of AD Info that I’ve been wanting to get finished for a long time. Read on for release date and change log.
