Re: LDAP query for the entire domain

I'm using a proprietary tool that expects the LDAP query to conform to
syntax standards which is one of the reasons I'm having problems with the
structure.

Thanks.

What are you using to perform the search?

If via ADO, you'd do something like this (VB Script):

set oRootDse=getObject("LDAP://RootDSE";)
set oConn=createObject("ADODB.Connection")
set oComm=createObject("ADODB.Command")

oConn.provider="ADsDSOObject"
oConn.open"Active Directory Provider"
oComm.activeConnection=oConn

sADsPath= "<LDAP://"&oRootDse.get("defaultNamingContext")&">;"
sFilter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(pager=123321));"
sAttrs = "ADsPath,sAMAccountName,cn,distnguishedName;"
sScope = "SubTree"

sQuery = sADsPath & sFilter & sAttrs & sScope

oComm.commandText = sQuery
oComm.properties("Page Size") = 100
oComm.properties("Size Limit") = 10000
oComm.properties("Cache Results") = false

set oRs=oComm.execute

if(isNull(oRs))then
' nothing came back
else
if(not oRs.eOF)then
' whatever
end if
end if


If using LDP, you simply provide the base DN and the query and ensure
subtree is seleced.

If using ADFIND, you run:

adfind -default -f
"&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(pager=123321)" samaccountname
cn
