It doesn't by default, however, assuming you have the later versions of LDIFDE that support the -x argument (to include tombstones) you can populate the LDIFargs environment variable (see script help) and tack that switch on (or mod. the script yourself) ... I've not tested it but I suspect it would work.

I still plan to check it out since I'm curious how it works.  Does it include tombstones?  DSAStat does, which some might consider a negative at times.

Not using an external tool is certainly an added bonus but, as I discovered an hour or two ago, DSASTAT's functionality covers most everything OBJcount does ... albeit a little harder to get at.  It did at least cause me to further explore aspects of DSTSTAT I was previously unfamiliar with. 

 

Thanks for the input David.

Haven't run it yet, but I'm curious what benefits it provides over dsastat.exe (or was a goal to avoid having to use an external tool)?

Per the subject line ... hope it proves as useful to some of you as it has been to me this week.  As always, please verify its successful execution in a lab before use in a production environment.

 

Thanks to Laura Hunter for guinea-pigging it for me!

 

Kindest regards.
