User Security Inheritance in Active Directory


Recommended Posts

I have over 1000 users in Active Directory on a Windows 2003 in native AD

mode.

 

Some users were brought in to AD from NT 4.0 with Exchange 5.5 by the means

of the AD connector. If I look at the security tab of the imported users,

and click the Advanced button, the inheritance of the permissions from the

parent is not checked, but any user that was copied or created from scratch

in 2003 AD has the checkbox checked. Is there a utility I can run that would

give me a report on who has the inheritance enabled and who does not.

Ideally I would want to have the inheritance checkbox checked for all of the

users in AD.

 

Not sure if there is anything in Windows Server support tools?

 

 

 

Thanks

I ran

 

ldifde -f Admincount-1.txt -d dc=mydomain.local -r

"(&(objectcategory=person)(objectclass=user)(InheritanceFlag=1))"

and

ldifde -f Admincount-1.txt -d dc=mydomain.local -r

"(&(objectcategory=person)(objectclass=user)(InheritanceFlag=0))"

 

but got

 

No Entries found

The command has completed successfully

 

Am i missing something?
