RE: Password Crack an OU in Windows 2003

That's only if SYSKEY has been enabled and the admin has chosen to store
the key on a floppy. 

To answer the OP's question though, I've never seen any tool that tries
to match up an account with a particular OU.  AFA storage of an account
in directory services is concerned, the OU doesn't matter- it's just a
reference pointer.

Since you'll have to be an admin to get to the SAM/AD password hashes
anyway, just dump them all and remove the other accounts you are "not
authorized" to crack before cracking them.  Easy enough ;)

Hello,

     I"m trying to find a way to password crack all the accounts in 
one OU within a Windows 2003 domain.  I am not authorized to password 
crack outside of that OU.  I've used a few tools in the past for 
password cracking, but none were specific enough to run on a specific 
OU.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

"To **crack passwords in the AD-database, the attacker needs physical 
access to both the Active Directory database and the floppy disk with 
the system key".
Is this given?
