Dsquery On Windows 7 Then You

I was trying to do an LDAP query against Active Directory and I was unable to get the query to work.

A good tool to use to troubleshoot this is ldp.exe.

It is installed by default on Windows Server 2008, but I believe its on the Windows Server 2003 disc, just not installed by default.

If you type dsquery ( Link ) you will get what is below: (I modified it a little bit and added Links) Description: This tools commands suite allow you to query the directory according to specified criteria.

Each of the following dsquery commands finds objects of a specific object type, with the exception of dsquery, which can query for any type of object.

Remarks: The dsquery commands help you find objects in the directory that match a specified search criterion: the input to dsquery is a search criterion and the output is a list of objects matching the search.

To get the properties of a specific object, use the dsget commands (dsget ).

The results from a dsquery command can be piped as input to one of the other directory service command-line tools, such as dsmod, dsget, dsrm or dsmove.

Commas that are not used as separators in distinguished names must be escaped with the backslash () character (for example, CNCompany, Inc.,CNUsers,DCmicrosoft,DCcom).

Backslashes used in distinguished names must be escaped with a backslash (for example, CNSales Latin America,OUDistribution Lists,DCmicrosoft,DCcom).

Examples: To find all computers that have been inactive for the last four weeks and remove them from the directory: dsquery computer -inactive 4 dsrm To find all users in the organizational unit ouMarketing,dcmicrosoft,dccom and add them to the Marketing Staff group: dsquery user ouMarketing,dcmicrosoft,dccom dsmod group cnMarketing Staff,ouMarketing,dcmicrosoft,dccom -addmbr To find all users with names starting with John and display his office number: dsquery user -name John dsget user -office To display an arbitrary set of attributes of any given object in the directory use the dsquery command.

For example, to display the sAMAccountName, userPrincipalName and department attributes of the object whose DN is ouTest,dcmicrosoft,dccom: dsquery ouTest,dcmicrosoft,dccom -scope base -attr sAMAccountName userPrincipalName department To read all attributes of the object whose DN is ouTest,dcmicrosoft,dccom: dsquery ouTest,dcmicrosoft,dccom -scope base -attr Directory Service command-line tools help: dsadd - help for adding objects.

If you are using Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 then you will need to install the Server 2003 Admin Pack.
