If you are searching for an object with a specific objectGUID you can do it
one of two ways
adfind -b "base DN" -binenc -f "objectguid={{GUID:someguid}}"
Or by using the <GUID=> format of
adfind -b "<GUID=someguid>" -s base
If you use the former I recommend a GC search like this
adfind -gc -b "" -binenc -f "objectguid={{GUID:someguid}}"
That searches from the root of the directory and will cover all domains and
trees.
Also note that that -binenc format will work for GUIDs in any binary GUID
attribute. The <GUID=> mechanism will only work for objectGUIDs. So for
instance, this would work against schemaIDGUID too.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Adfind and GUID
OK, so am I missing something here? Following the directions for adfind, I
am trying to locate an object by GUID. Here is my cmd line. What am I
missing?
adfind -binenc -f
objectguid={{GUID:9AD0431B-B677-4BF9-A63E-DD29036123FF}}
Help?
