RE: [ActiveDir] Querying for all users

[Mulnick, Al]

Doug, I haven't done that with adfind, but here's some links for how you could use it using wshshell:   http://www.windowsitpro.com/WindowsScripting/Article/ArticleID/25285/25285.html   That links to an example:  LISTING 1: Code to Capture a Command-Line Tool’s Output Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set objScriptExec = objShell.Exec("ipconfig /all") strIpConfig = objScriptExec.StdOut.ReadAll WScript.Echo strIpConfig     But not sure that's going to give you what you want in ASP or other, you'd have to try it out and see.  Also, being that it's adfind, you're likely crawling larger datasets and would need to adjust accordingly.       Al     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stelley, Douglas Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 7:47 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Querying for all users I use queries like this for dozens of programs and scripts, but two of these are new to me. When I need to find/exclude a disabled account I’ll use (!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2). I tried briefly the (useraccountcontrol:AND:=2), or the (!(useraccountcontrol:AND:=2)) I wasn’t able to include/exclude disabled users. Is that unique to Adfind?The query I used to test for that was (&(objectcategory=person)(objectclass=user)(!useraccountcontrol:AND:=2)) brought up all users regardless of 512/514  I’d love to be able to harness the powers of adfind in some of my existing scripts and ASP pages. Is there a link with perhaps an example or two of utilizing your program within a VB/VBS/ASP? Also, using (samaccounttype=805306368), is there a listing of the possible samaccount types?

The only way to do that is to make sure the disabled flag is not set in the useraccountcontrol. That will seriously slow down the query.       _____   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Alex Fontana Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 5:48 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Querying for all users Is there any attribute that is unique to real user accounts only (mail enabled and non-mail enabled)?  We tried teaming up objectclass=user and givenname=*, but of course not all users have to have a given name.  Then tried teaming up the objectclass with useraccountcontrol=5*, then we found out about the 66048’s and 262656’s….damn them.  So, is there an ldap query that will give me all enabled active directory user accounts?  Most likely it’s so simple I would never have even thought about it.
