samba - Feb 2006 - net ads dn - reading netbootGUID attribute

hello everyone,

I can read *any* attribute I want out of the Active Directory using 'net
ads dn'.. except for one - which of course is the (only) one I need.

netbootGUID. It is stored in an octet string as is objectGUID and
objectSid which I can read properly.

example:
net ads dn 'cn=host1,cn=computers,dc=example,dc=tld' objectSid
Got 1 replies
objectSid: S-1-5-21-1357569919-2303237353-776511975-1113

net ads dn 'cn=host1,cn=computers,dc=example,dc=tld' objectGUID
Got 1 replies
objectGUID: 07770174-c7b8-40ed-992e-5fed2ee09bab

net ads dn 'cn=host1,cn=computers,dc=example,dc=tld' netbootGUID
Got 1 replies
netbootGUID: ________a

net -V
Version 3.0.21a

there are solutions for windows available here..

but of course I don't have the adsi API within linux :|

can someone please shed some light on this?
ldapsearch doesn't get any further either.
--> netbootGUID:: Vk25Z+L/bar9q3BndZLrYQ=and if I try to compare any
netbootGUID to the string above I get 0 results.

Ok, I fixed that in subversion (see
http://build.samba.org/?function=diff;tree=samba_3_0;date=1139480667;author=gd;revision=13410)

You might want to take a look at the adssearch.pl perl script which
quickly allows you to work on decoding the various attributes without
recompiling.
