Hi Michael I was reading your doc: https://www.dsinternals.com/en/retrieving-active-directory-passwords-remotely/ I have done everything from it, but once I run it PlainText (Clear Text) for Active Directory user is empty.. Is there anything that was changed since artical was written. I really need to get my AD users passwords. Thanks in advance.

Hello @Nikolara97 , the presence of cleartext passwords in AD database is governed by this highly discouraged setting. I absolutely doubt that anyone really needs to get their AD users passwords for other than malicious reasons, as it would totally compromise AD security.
