Olivarez From: Sitton Glen E [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 10:17 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org 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
