The AD guys posted a really cool post about getting extended rights via the schema. That post can be found here:
How to find extended rights that apply to a schema class object

If you dont have Windows 7, 2008 R2, or the Active Directory Management Gateway then you can get similar results by using my functions from here: Getting AD Schema information from Powershell. This works on all versions of AD.

Using these functions you can just do this:

Get-ADSchemaClass group | %{$_.DefaultObjectSecurityDescriptor} | %{$_.access} | ?{$_.ActiveDirectoryRights -eq "ExtendedRight"}

Active Directory Replication Module

Purpose:
Provide administrators with simple task-based set of cmdlets to manage and trouble-shoot Active Directory Replication.

Overview:
This will provide several cmdlets for working with Active Directory focusing on Replication. As AD replication is build on domain/forest infrastructure we are also including a set of Domain and Forest management cmdlets.

Target:
Windows 2003 Domain and above (although most cmdlets will still work against 2000.)

Status:
Work as already begun on the project and I am hoping to release alpha code in the next month or so.

Example of cmdlets to be provided (not complete:)

• Test-ADRReplication
• Get-ADRDomain
• Get-ADRDomainController
• Get-ADRForest
• Get-ADRGlobalCatalog
• Get-ADRMetaData
• Get/Set/Test-ADRProperty
• Get/Set/New-ADRSite
• Get/Set/New-ADRSiteLink
• Get/Set/New-ADRSubNet

Please let us know if there is feature you would like to see or any general feedback.
