It comes with a few bugfixes and also is based on .NET Framework 4.x now.

It comes with a new visualization technique called cushion treemaps to provide you with a single grafic picture of the entire contents of your directory hierarchy or any sub container in your directory tree. When you are maintain large LDAP directory environments, this visualization lets you quickly identify the containers or organizational units with the most objects in it. Additionally, you can easily see what kind of objects are stored in which containers. This visualization technique called cushion treemaps is used in some popular admin tools for large file systems, like KDIRSTAT, SEQUOIAVIEW or WINDIRSTAT. http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/screenshots-1.5.000.htm Sun, 06 Oct 2013 20:00:00 GMT http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/screenshots-1.5.000.htm A new LEX tutorial video was released: It demonstrates the usage of the multi object editor. <strong>LEX - The LDAP Explorer</strong> can access a lot of objects simultaneously with this editor. In our example, the contents of an LDAP attribute have to be transferred to another attribute - for many many objects. A task that cannot be performed manually. Easily solved with LEX without having to develop a script. http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/videos.htm#AttributeBulkTransfer Sat, 10 Nov 2012 20:00:00 GMT http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/videos.htm#AttributeBulkTransfer The new version 1.4.000 of the LDAP browser / LDAP admin tool <strong>LEX - The LDAP Explorer</strong> is available. LEX now has an ability to monitor in real time an object on multiple LDAP servers. This is e.g. very useful if you want to have a closer look at the process of a replication. You can observe an object or important attributes of an object in the Observation Factory so that you can see exactly when and where the appropriate changes were made to the directory data. In the observation Factory, you can check for example whether one of your AD domain controllers replicated properly with the other. Or you could watch in which time interval and with what order objects are changed during the synchronization between different meta directories. http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/screenshots-1.4.000.htm Mon, 08 Oct 2012 20:00:00 GMT http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/screenshots-1.4.000.htm The first LEX tutorial video was released: It demonstrates the handling of attribute columns in LDAP object lists when you browsing an LDAP directory with LEX. Attribute columns gives you a very quick overview over object properties and let you sort the objects easily according to any attribute values. http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/videos.htm Tue, 12 Jun 2012 20:00:00 GMT http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/videos.htm The new version 1.3.006 of the LDAP browser / LDAP admin tool <strong>LEX - The LDAP Explorer</strong> is available.

Works also for system-reserved backlink attributes which are normally readonly: You can change for example the 'memberOf' attribute in Active Directory environments now just like a normal attribute.</li><li>...and many minor improvments, including an editor for GUID values.</li></ul> http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/screenshots-1.3.000.htm Wed, 21 Jul 2010 20:00:00 GMT http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/screenshots-1.3.000.htm Today i released a new version of LAZARUS, my tool for accessing the Active Directory 'deleted objects' container and restoring objects and subtrees. The current release is v1.5 now. I made a few changes which helps LAZARUS to better operate in AD LDS (ADAM) environments. Yes - deleted objects in AD LDS directories can be restored with Lazarus also! :) Just use the 'Connect' button, provide server address, LDAP port of the regarding instance und user credentials, and here we go... http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/lazarus.htm Tue, 25 May 2010 20:00:00 GMT http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/lazarus.htm-2 Today i released a new version of Liza, my tool for analyzing AD permissions. The current release is v1.1 now. The new LIZA can display and analyse permissions not only for container objects, but also on any leaf object in Active Directory environments if needed. http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/liza.htm Sun, 25 Apr 2010 20:00:00 GMT http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/liza.htm-1 Today i released the first public version of Liza, my new GUI tool for analyzing AD permissions. I always found the out-of-the-box possibilities to examine the object security in Active Directory environments rather unwieldy to handle for complex permission settings. So i made a tool for fast and lucid display of container permissions and audit configurations in Active Directory environments. What i added is an analysis option: Where in the directory hierarchy are permissions granted for an account (including it's group memberships)? http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/liza.htm Mon, 05 Apr 2010 20:00:00 GMT http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/liza.htm The new version of my commercial LDAP browser / LDAP admin tool is available. New features in this version: LEX can set passwords for AD acounts now. When you edit the object permissions, you can take ownership on AD objects now. Many new specific editors and functions for bit flag attributes: userAccountControl, dsHeuristics, systemFlags, searchFlags, groupType, sAMAccountType. OK, that was a bunch of improvements especially for AD environments, new functions for other LDAP directory servers or new general LDAP browser functions will come in the next version ;) http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/screenshots-1.2.004.htm Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:00:00 GMT http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/screenshots-1.2.004.htm Yesterday i released the first public version of Lazarus, my new GUI tool for accessing the hidden Active Directory container 'Deleted Objects'. This is where a domain controller (or ADAM/AD LDS server) stores the deleted directory objects for a while, before they get deleted physically from the Active Directory database. LAZARUS can reanimate these tombstones - if you activated the new AD Recycle Bin feature in your environment, then LAZARUS can undelete the objects with their full referential integrity (no more lost group memberships!). LAZARUS is a child project in the development of my LDAP browser 'LEX The LDAP Explorer'. http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/lazarus.htm Wed, 13 Jan 2010 22:00:00 GMT http://www.ldapexplorer.com/en/lazarus.htm
