Good morning People,

Im looking to create a txt file of all users and what OUs they are in to a txt file.

Ive used NET VIEW /DOMAINOMAINNAME >VIEW.TXT, but I need a cmd that will give details of users that are nested inside the OUs (OU= location in our case)

Sure ive come across a cmd that can do this - I was thinking of DSGET or DSQUERY? I think I know this but as its Friday and im definitely in cruise mode my brain is not playing ball today

Any help would be very welcome .

Mate have you tried AD Manager Plus, it's free for 30 days and is pretty powerful.

Hi

I've used this free tool: http://www.wisesoft.co.uk/software/account_management_spreadsheet/default.aspx, which has saved me loads of time in the past. In fact, I'll be using it Monday morning to sort some bits out.

Vbscript, powershell, ADSI, WMI ... not actually sure about the latter with AD

 

You can use PowerShell in conjunction with WMI and pretty much any other .NET library. You can pull AD directory information with PowerShell. Here is one way to do it:

Yeah i know they all can in one form or another.

(later =WMI)

I wasnt sure if WMI itself has direct method(s) to query AD. Apparently it does so they all have there own methods as well as been mash'able with each other.
