Good thing you spotted this thread. I had a feeling my answer needed some "tweaking" :-)

Basically what happens is that you are only setting a base DN for the search and by default, adfind will do a objectclass=* query from that base. So for instance, if you enter the GUID for an OU with a bunch of objects, you will end up dumping the OU attributes as well as all of the objects in that OU. It could be quite a surprise if you are expecting only a single object. :o) joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Cliffe Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 1:02 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Adfind and GUID A thread similar to this subject appeared on this list not too long ago.
