Download
Click here to download an evaluation version (version 1.20).
It is fully functional, if the forest
name is test.local. Otherwise, there is a five-line limit for each report (except
for the report of object counts per domain).
Installation
There are two methods for the installation:
- Run the accompanied setup.exe. This method requires you to have admin
privileges for the local machine.
- Extract the files in the cab file to a single folder. Then launch
ADReport_ver_for_xxx.exe. This method should not require admin privileges
for the local machine.
Error Handling Policy
ADReport handles many error types and different data in various Active
Directories, so it is not likely that you would get any errors.
It is possible,
however, that your Active Directory contains some data that makes ADReport to
crash. Two examples of situations that have made an earlier version of ADReport
to crash are:
- ADO & ADSI handle most special characters in object names automatically.
They don't, however, handle a slash (/) so a slash in an OU name made
ADReport crash, until special handling for this was added.
- The rightsGuids of extended rights and property sets should always be
unique. However, the ForestPrep of a beta version of Windows Vista adds some
non-unique rightsGuids. The current version of ADReport tolerates this.
In summary, if ADReport reads some data from your AD that it cannot handle,
it is better to let it crash, than try to keep going and produce possibly erraneous
information. If you want to find out if your AD contains something that makes ADReport
crash, simply run the evaluation version and produce all the reports. Even
though the writing into the html files stops after five lines, ADReport still
reads everything. So no crash with the evaluation version means no crash with
the licensed version. Should ADReport crash in your environment, please see
the Troubleshooting section. |
