Adtest.exe utility

[Guest]

Does anyone know where I can find documentation for the Adtest.exe utility?

I am trying to find a program that will load-simulate user authentication
requests against Active Directory. I have downloaded the utility but it is
command-line based and has no supporting documentation.

Are there better tools out there?


Thanks!

I haven't seen any official docs for this tool, but that isn't unusual it is a
res kit tool. I suggest doing adtest /? and working out what you need from the
usage.

I cannot get this thing to work for the life of me either.

For example, adtest /? gives all its options. If you type adtest -r it says
its missing a testname. However, the /? doesnt give any testnames, and if it
does, those dont work either.
For example
adtest -r -quicktest

doesnt work. Nor does
adtest -r quicktest

Both seem to complain that you didnt give a correct testname. Who woulda
thought a silly command line would be so difficult to even get running?

The documentation for adtest.exe is located in the same dir you installed Adtest to. The file name for the documentation is adtest.mht, it will open in your browser.
