Hi all!! I've been stress-testing some utilities we use internally, specifically a tool to "sync" users from AD to AD/AM (ok, not exactly sync; we just need a user/computer object with the same names that those in AD). For the purpose, I have created an OU in AD that I then filled with 1000000+ users (admod -sc adau:1000000;SomePassword1;CN=.... a couple of times ). The tool survived the beating, but now I want to delete the OU and the users within, both in AD and ADAM. I thought that: admod -b "OU_DN" -rm Would do the trick but it complains that it can't delete a non-leaf (otherwise understandable). ADUC and ADAM-ADSIEdit let me say "delete", but they take in the order of ages (they are at it now). Users&Comp. seems to hang, and ADSIEdit every now and then comes up with a message box saying: --------------------------- ADAM-ADSIEdit --------------------------- The tree deletion is not finished. The request must be made again to continue deleting the tree. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- I click OK, select "delete" again on the OU, and on it goes... My question is, I "know" that there has to be a better/quicker way to do this that does not involve "listing" all objetct and piping them to admod? Thanks a lot. Javier Jarava PS: For bonus "points", I seem to recall some post on joe's blog about having "progress dots" in admod that show objetcts being modified.. But I wasn't able to find the proper switch in the docs, so when I created 1000000 users I got 1000000 DNs shown on screen. So, what is the proper option to say "don't print all progress, just a running % or something like that"?? Thanks a bunch again.
