syntax for repadmin /showmeta

[Guest Chris]

I'm trying to use repadmin /showmeta or repadmin /showobjmeta with GUID for a

user account. I was able to run the command with DN for the user account.

Here is my syntax:

repadmin /showmeta GUID=D416D85C-D0D6-EC47-9189-13B83674F3C1 dc1.xxxx.com

 

with /showobjmeta the error is DSA object could not be found. Is my syntax

wrong? I found the GUID (objectGUID) via ADSI. Can someone help? It's not

deleted user account.

 

Thanks.

RE: syntax for repadmin /showmeta

 

I think I found the problem. The GUID I mentioned below was found via ADSI

as objectGUID. But it's in Hex string format. instead string formatted

GUID. I made the hex format look like string format. So, how to convert

hext GUID into sting GUID?

RE: syntax for repadmin /showmeta

 

I found the right syntax and how to convert hex string GUID to string GUID.

First the syntax is:

 

repadmin /showmeta "<GUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx>"

dc1.mycompany.com

 

My hex string GUID (got it from ADSI under objectGUID) is

D4 16 D8 5C D0 D6 EC 47 91 89 13 B8 36 74 F3 C1

to convert it you have reverse first 16 chars. So the string GUID will be

5cd816d4-d6d0-47ec-9189-13b83674f3c1

 

It works for repadmin /showmeta but the same syntax gives error for

/showobjmeta.

 

Can someone help?

 

Thanks.
