Adding the Attribute Editor tab for Active Directory objects

For some objects and maybe for some systems using a specific language, the attributes tab won’t appear, even when you have the “Advanced” view selected. This was maybe caused by a faulty forest update or misconfiguration. To fix this issue we must update the DisplaySpecifiers in our AD Configuration.

The following example will show you how to update it for AD User objects.

Open ADSIEdit

Click “Connect to” under the actions menu

Leave the defaults except select the well known naming context “Configuration”

Expand the Configuration Branch and select CN=DisplaySpecifiers container

Expand your language code CN=407 (for de-DE) other languages codes could be found at: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/324097/list-of-language-packs-and-their-codes-for-windows-2000-domain-control

Click on CN=user-Display

Double click AdminPropertyPages and add the following value: 11,{c7436f12-a27f-4cab-aaca-2bd27ed1b773}


If you want to see the attribute flag on other objects you have to add 12,{c7436f12-a27f-4cab-aaca-2bd27ed1b773} to the AdminPropertyPages, like CN=organizationalUnit-Display or CN=computer-Display.

Get all DFS Folder targets of a DFS path

Find attached the script to get the DFS folder targets. The targets will be saved to c:\temp\DFSFolderTargets.csv. Just change the variable $DFSPath = "\\Domainfqdn\Folder\*" to your DFS path.

$DFSPath = "\\Domainfqdn\Folder\*"
$DFSPath
$DFSNFolders = Get-DfsnFolder $DFSPath
foreach($DFSNFolder in $DFSNFolders )
    {
    $DFSTarget = Get-DfsnFolderTarget $DFSNFolder.Path | Select Path,TargetPath
    $DFSTarget | Export-Csv "c:\temp\DFSFolderTargets.csv" -NoTypeInformation -Append
    }
