Subject: [ActiveDir] DSQUERY filter for space character only

 

I need to run an obscure DSQUERY with a filter that finds displayNames with a value of a single space character.  I'm stumped.  I've tried every escape character possibility that I'm aware of.  I know how to find null values, but can't seem to query on a space character alone.  It hoses the ldap syntax.

 

When ADUC builds the ldap query itself, it fails:

 

    (&(objectCategory=user)(displayName= ))

 

    The query filter ... is not a valid query string.

 

I've tried:

    " "

    ' '

    %20

    +

 and escaping it with a \ or a ^

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance,

- Glen
