A glimpse of the new Power Search feature<\/h2>\n

The new \u201cPower search\u201d feature enables you to perform granular and incisive search and analysis of permissions in your Active Directory. You can perform granular search on the AD objects permissions with efficient query definitions. The scope of the search can also be specified within the Active Directory Options to search default permissions and selectively assigned permissions gives the ability to search extensively.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the systematic approach of using the Power search wizard<\/p>\n

Understand the Power search feature better, with few sample scenarios<\/h2>\n

Scenario #1: Members having \u2018Reset Password\u2019 ACE\u2019s<\/h3>\n

\"power<\/a><\/p>\n

Scenario #2: Members who can delete Organizational Units<\/h3>\n

\"delete<\/a><\/p>\n

\"delete<\/a><\/p>\n

Scenario #3: Members who can delete or create users & groups<\/h3>\n

\"create<\/a><\/p>\n

\"user<\/a><\/p>\n

\"create<\/a><\/p>\n

Scenario #4: Members who have Full control ACE\u2019s<\/h3>\n

\"general<\/a><\/p>\n

\"full<\/a><\/p>\n

\"ace<\/a><\/p>\n

Scenario #5: Members who are authorized to create or delete tasks in the AD environment<\/h3>\n

\"create<\/a><\/p>\n

\"create<\/a><\/p>\n

Scenario #6: Members who can alter AD objects<\/h3>\n

\"write<\/a><\/p>\n

\"modify<\/a><\/p>\n

Scenario #7: Members who have extended rights<\/h3>\n

\"extended<\/a><\/p>\n

\"search<\/a><\/p>\n

Scenario #8: Search those ACE\u2019s that have impact on your AD security & integrity<\/h3>\n

\"delete<\/a><\/p>\n

\"modify<\/a><\/p>\n

\"search<\/a><\/p>\n

The most interesting news is that, there is one more fascinating feature about the Delegation control wizard, which now conducts an implicit search for the explicitly assigned ACE\u2019s when a particular delegated task is chosen. In other words, you may search for the permissions that are assigned by default while delegating rights to the OU accounts and containers.<\/p>\n

Scenario #9: Members who have \u2018Reset Password\u2019 ACE as the delegated task<\/h3>\n

\"reset<\/a><\/p>\n

\"delegated<\/a><\/p>\n

Fig3: Report settings of \u2018Reset password\u2019 ACE<\/h3>\n

Scenario #10: Members who have explicit Allow\/Deny non- inherited ACE\u2019s on OU objects<\/h3>\n

\"delete<\/a><\/p>\n
