One point about using CSVDE is that Microsoft has stated that their direction is to move toward LDIF formats rather than CSV formats. This is because LDIF is the standard for directories, and they're trying to be in compliance with the larger directory community of which Active Directory is now a part.
For this reason, LDIFDE has more functionality than CSVDE. I would highly encourage anyone to become familiar with the LDIF format, and the LDIFDE tool specifically. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rutherford, Robert Sent: Monday, July 05, 2004 6:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Exporting Workstation Information Csvde does though...

It doesn't put the data into CSV, but it is in a text file format, and quite easy to parse.
