Searching in the forest
root means that the utility performs a global catalog search of all the domain controllers. Only
the quota object uses the Object Distinguished Name variable, which defines the distinguished
name of the object to use as a starting point for searches. The default setting is domainroot.
-o {dn | rdn | samid | upn} Specifies the output format for the list of entries the search
obtains. Not every object can use every output format. For example, when you search the contact
object, you can??™t use the samid output. See the individual object descriptions for additional details.
The default setting relies on the dn format. The following list describes the common formats.
dn Displays the distinguished name for each entry.
rdn Displays the relative distinguished name for each entry. A relative distinguished
name only shows the path from the starting point to the current location in the Active Directory
hierarchy.
samid Displays the Security Access Manager (SAM) account name for each entry.
upn Displays the User Principal Name (UPN) for each entry. This output only applies to
the user object.
-scope {subtree | onelevel | base} Defines the scope of the search.
