This is just slightly dated (written in 2004), but should answer all your questions about UPN.

It'll do it. Regards, Michael B.

I just exported a CSV with ADFIND and when opening with Excel the fields are empty. Or are you referring to it when opening it in a text editor? I know years ago I used to "wash" an export because it was saved in Unicode (IIRC I was batch exporting Registry stuff) and I needed it to be ASCII, so in batch I had Notepad open the file and then the batch would "Save As..." and flip the format to ASCII, perhaps the same thing can be done here? A little clunky, but perhaps someone knows a cleaner method... Additionally, checking out my ADFIND output I see a couple dozen users (out of 200+) without a UPN. Would this affect many things by not having this? SharePoint? Exchange? Anything? I guess I'm asking: When is UPN used?

Still gonna take some work, though, from what I can see in the docs. Have to prefix each field with the correct identifier. That's definitely going to be interesting. On a side note, the newest version of adfind still is stupid about populating blank fields with garbage. Sigh. Kurt On Feb 5, 2008 5:00 PM, Michael B.
