Page Up/Page Down doesn’t work correctly in Firefox

OK so I think this one is entirely my fault but it was still driving me nuts.  Whenever I tried to use the Page Up or Page Down key while viewing a web page in Firefox it would move the page down then almost immediately shoot back to where I was viewing before.

In addition to this using the arrow keys to move up and down was also a iffy prospect.  One day when I was low on sleep and using my computer this happened.  I had simply been ignoring it for so long.  I finally typed this sentence into Google search:

Active Directory Users and Computers Error: “the application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way”

UPDATE [6/19/2009]:  Below is my original fix for this problem however in the comments section frymaster provided an alternative.  I am no longer running Vista 64 so haven’t tested it but another user has confirmed it worked for him.

Try deleting this file:

%userprofile%\appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\MMC\dsa

It will be recreated after you shut down your MMC console.

Thanks to frymaster for the update!

Get an Active Directory Property from Powershell

In an earlier post I mentioned a useful link for Powershell users.  I am happy to say I used the cheat sheet today.

Sometimes you want to grab a property from an Active Directory entry.  I wanted to be able to do it from Powershell.

One of the cool things about PowerShell is that you can access the Namespaces in the .net framework.  So you can put together a script that can access Active Directory the same way you do it from .net Code using Directory Services.

Here is what I came up with:

Powershell Cheat Sheet

Ever use Powershell?  I run into situations every once in a while where it is really useful but I always seem to forget the syntax.  I found a link to a really cool cheat sheet that I just tacked onto my wall so I won’t ever be lost again.
