Can you formalize this a little bit more?Imagine the possibilities if you could generalize this for uidNumber's too...Maybe I misunderstood the posting but IMHO that's a different use-case: The msDS-KeyVersionNumber is per user entry and AFAICS does not have to be unique across the whole directory. IMO it's not possible to implement a directory-wide whatever-unique-ID generator without a central UID pool entry.Yes, if I understand Quanah's point correctly, what he wants to have is already provided by rfc4525 + rfc4527: increment with pre- or post-read, to atomically increment and read a (central) counter.
Correct. Just something we've never implemented, but I've often seen requested. ;)
