[foofus-tools] foofus-tools Digest, Vol 23, Issue 2

[jmk]

I'd bet that some portion of Symantec is still running on that box and
it's causing the hangup with PwDump6. I regularly run FgDump against
domain controllers with several thousand users. The only domain that I
can recall a timeout issue with due to the number of accounts contained
nearly 500,000 users. I believe I got around that problem by simply
manually running PwDump.exe locally on one of the domain controllers.
