Vista - Quest cmdlets - x64 Compliant ?

10-25-2007

Thanks for all your advice on my earlier post on the 24th of Oct 'Problems
obtaining user properties from Active Directory' - unfortunately at work I
have been pulled off in another direction, but hope to sit down and look at
this some more the weekend -I am actually testing this on a 32 bit VM but the
final script will be run on x64 Domain Controllers - I have installed x64
..Net 2.0 and PS on the DCs ready for the script once completed - I hope to
schedule it on each DC (running on opposite DC if other DC goes down) - the
service desk will hopefully be able to view a daily csv of required info - I
originally looked at going down the Quest cmdlets route but didn't like the
'RC' part of the download desc especially as I was going to ultimately run
this on x64 production DCs - I thought to go the longer ADSI route may be
safer and would prove a good PS early learning experience at the same time -
can I ask are the CMDlets x64 compliant? - am I asking for trouble testing on
32 bit then running on x64 prod DCs?

For Quest, your best bet is to ask this on www.powergui.org. They are
on here from time to time though.

As far as I am aware there isn't a 64bit version of the cmdlets. There is
only a single download available which is 32bit (presumably as it installs on
32bit machines). The 32bit version quite happily accesses AD on 64bit Domain
Controllers.
