Hi Chris, I got a lot of clients running Posh 1.0 and Quest CMDlets and every time I need to search a forest, this is how I do it: get-qaduser <ID goes here> -IAP -SearchScope "Subtree" -SearchRoot "DC=domain,DC=com" -SizeLimit 0 -UseGlobalCatalog I always point the -SearchRoot to the forest root and it works for me. Hope that helps.

Is there a switch to have it search the entire forest? I know I can write something that will cycle through each domain until it finds it, but thought there would be something native to do this. I'm using the Quest CMDLETS. I've tried different combinations of -searchRoot and -Service with no luck so far.
