Executive Summary:
In "Turn On, Tune In, and Disconnect, Part 1," Jim Turner discussed how to use a VBScript script to create a database that holds SID history information for group and user objects in a domain. This VBScript script also demonstrated how to use disconnected recordsets, which are Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) recordsets that reside only in memory. In "Turn On, Tune In, and Disconnect, Part 2," Jim discusses an HTML Application (HTA) that you can use to locate and display records in the SID database. You'll learn how this HTA finds and opens SID databases, and how it filters database records. You'll also learn how the HTA overcomes a common HTA annoyance. |
Disconnected recordsets are ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) recordsets that reside only in memory while they're active. Because they're in memory, accessing data within them can be quick and efficient. UpdateSIDdb.vbs demonstrates how to create and use disconnected recordsets. This script creates and updates a low-maintenance database that holds SID history information for group and user objects in a domain. Maintaining a SID database can come in handy when you need to retrieve a user's or group's ID but you have only a SID. . . .
