Guest Chris Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 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.
Guest Chris Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 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?

Guest Chris Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 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.
