You may misunderstand ADFIND. It will allow you to specify the attribs you want vs. which one's you don't want last I checked.
As for your DSQUERY command, why are you limiting to 1000 on the one that doesn't work? Why not leave it at 0 ?

ADfind doesn't seem to give me the option to specify which fields I wnat to retrieve, only to exclude fields, and there are too many to do that. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dan Hinckley t: (41 22) 999 0183 Information Management Group f: (41 22) 999 0010 IUCN, The World Conservation Union e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1196 Gland, Switzerland w: http://iucn.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
