Managing Active Directory with the DSQuery Utility
The Directory Services Query (DSQuery) utility helps you to obtain information about Active
Directory content. For example, you can obtain a complete list of the computers attached to the network
or the names of the users who rely on the network. Each kind of data requires that you use a
specific object type or the asterisk (*) for all object types. The following list shows the most common
objects (those supported by the utility).
? computer
? contact
? group
? ou (organizational unit)
? site
? server
? user
? quota
? partition
? * (all objects)
All of these objects require some basic input to obtain the data. For example, you can expect to provide
a username. The following list provides the common inputs for each of the objects.
{StartNode | forestroot | domainroot | ObjectDN} Determines the node where the
search starts. You can specify a node??™s distinguished name, or use one of the default starting
nodes that include forestroot (forest root) or domainroot (domain root).
