I have done some testing and allowed a few others to test it and am now opening up the beta to this list, please don't forward as I don't want a bunch of people using the beta 2 months from now. o Phantom Root capability (-pr) - Allows you to search across all partitions across a DC or ADAM instance based on specified base. I.E. -b .com would retrieve *.com partitions. -b would retrieve all partitions say all ADAM partitions or default domain, config, and schema of a DC (even if it isn't a GC). o Added list (-list) - output from adfind is in list format. For instance say you want a simple list of ldapdisplaynames of all the attributes in the schema. You could use a query like Adfind -schema -f objectcategory=attributeschema ldapdisplayname -list If you want the output sorted by ldapdisplayname, you do not have to specify -sort ldapdisplayname, if you specify -sort or -rsort it will automatically assume you want ldapdisplayname or whatever other attribute you are listing by. However, if you want it sorted by some other attribute, you can still specify it. o Added -soao - Sorted order attribute output. Jerry Schulman asked me for this and the next update. This sorts the attributes output for each object by attribute name so they will be in a consistent order. This is nice for scripting in the scripting languages that have minimal parsing capabilities (like not Perl) ;o) o -oao - Ordered attribute output. Attribute output for each object is in the order you specify attributes to be returned in the command submitted. Not only that, but if a specific object doesn't have one of the attributes, it will still put a slot in the output for that attribute. By default that slot will be empty (attribname:) but if you like, you can specify a value to insert (this is from Al Mulnick from some time last year) like say #undef# so if an attribute you specify to be returned will have that value in the output (attribname: #undef#). This is done by specifying that string after the -oao switch. o CSV output... You must specify a list of attributes to be returned, if you don't it will autoselect dn and name for you. If you don't want to specify a list of attributes, you can still use adcsv.pl (Should I compile that?). Supporting switches are -csvdelim, -csvmvdelim, -csvq. The delim switches let you specify delimiters for the attribs and the values of a mv attrib. csvq lets you specify a different value to quote the attributes, default is the quote character. -nodn is supported with -csv... o -incldn and -incldndelim - these are like -excldn and -excldndelim but allows you to filter on what you want to see versus what you don't want to see. Remember, all data from the query comes back, this will simply filter out unwanted objects on display. o Added the ability to decode msDS-User-Account-Control-Computed when using -samdc o Added decode for AzMan groups (basic and query based) with -samdc on grouptypes. o Fixed a bug in the filter expansion of the stats+ output. It would blow it if there were parens in the output that wasn't related to the filter itself. o Added environment option (-e). We discussed this functionality and the next functionality on the list a while back. You can specify environment variables and adfind will read them and use them like they were specified on the command line. Switches provided at the command line will override anything specified in the env vars. Attributes specified will be in addition to what is specified on the command line.

So if you wanted to specify a host to use in the env vars, say because you don't want to keep typing it, you could type Set adfind-h=hostname.somedomain.someotherdomain.somedomain.com And then when you do adfind and specify the -e switch it will pull that in and use it. If you want to specify a different prefix you specify it after the -e like for instance -e adam1 -e adam2 -adam3 and then you could have
RE: [ActiveDir] ADFIND mods
the filename after the -ef.
o Modified help so that hopefully it isn't so intimidating when you first
try it. I started looking at making it so every switch gave full examples,
etc but then realized I wasn't making this for my grandmother to use and
figured a compentent AD Admin should be able to work out how to use most of
the switches with the help given. If you find specific examples that you
don't agree with me on, email me what you think is wrong and how you think
it should be.
You can download from the following location. Please download with the
understanding that when I publish the release version in a week or two or
three that you will delete the beta and get the new version.

If you try it and find an issue, please email me directly.

You will need multiple t-shirts, so far I have added around 10 new switches

it would still be quite a while for V2.* as I want to do some other things
first so I figured I would shove a bunch of stuff in now.
I am also looking at the usage screen too to see if I can give a simple help
and an advanced help and probably a only look at this help if you really
understand what you are doing help. I figure the simple help will show how
to build the simplest query. The other screens will go from there. Honestly,
I don't expect everyone to use every aspect of adfind. Many people will do
things in a possibly simpler and a more inefficient manner than optimal but
that manner will be familiar to them. I offer all of the abilities adfind
has for those people who truly know what can be done so they can pull off
what they need to do at the command line without writing their own compiled
tool, hopefully in an optimal fashion. I enjoy it when Dean is forced to
admit that adfind is the only way to do this that or the other advanced
task.

I decided to add a quick list function which combines -nodn -nolabel and
inserts the attribute specified into the -sort or -rsort without having to
type the attribute again which I have wanted for some time because I was
tired of typing all of that stuff all of the time.
I then decided since it was all going too smoothly I should take a shot at
CSV output because I really need to crash it good when I am adding new
things so I can slap my forehead and think, what in the world do I do this
for. Plus the mechanism I had set up to pull off Jerry's option I had
architected in such a way that CSV was at least remotely possible
theoretically and how dare I not test the theory.
This CSV option only works with DN and name if you don't specify specific
attributes or it works with the attributes you specify though DN will always
be the first column. Amazingly, it seems to be working and it isn't entirely
slow. I have to play with it some more and I thought of a couple of other
options to try and stick in and break things before I start officially beta
testing it. Once I get to that point I may annoy some folks into testing it
out for me. If you use adfind a lot and would like to test the new version
when I am ready to let someone find the holes, respond to me with this email
and why you would like to test it and I will put you in the hat. Oh here is
what the csv output looks like at the moment

I decided to add a quick list function which combines -nodn -nolabel and
inserts the attribute specified into the -sort or -rsort without having to
type the attribute again which I have wanted for some time because I was
tired of typing all of that stuff all of the time.
I then decided since it was all going too smoothly I should take a shot at
CSV output because I really need to crash it good when I am adding new
things so I can slap my forehead and think, what in the world do I do this
for. Plus the mechanism I had set up to pull off Jerry's option I had
architected in such a way that CSV was at least remotely possible
theoretically and how dare I not test the theory.
This CSV option only works with DN and name if you don't specify specific
attributes or it works with the attributes you specify though DN will always
be the first column. Amazingly, it seems to be working and it isn't entirely
slow. I have to play with it some more and I thought of a couple of other
options to try and stick in and break things before I start officially beta
testing it. Once I get to that point I may annoy some folks into testing it
out for me. If you use adfind a lot and would like to test the new version
when I am ready to let someone find the holes, respond to me with this email

Well it bit me tonight while watching My Name is Earl on the Media Center
PC. I had worked out where I needed to further hack the code and opened it
up and started slinging code and have been doing so for the last couple of
hours though now I have to rewatch Earl because I lost the thread of what
was happening.
After I stuck in Jerry's attribute sort so that an object will return the
attributes in an order sorted by attribute name say
cn: Users
