Thanks everyone. This did the trick. I'm now able to hand to another admin two sets of *.cmd files which read SMTP addresses from a text file and update group membership. If any troubleshooting needs to be done after a failed update he's empowered to look on the internet and research. Awesome!

Joe and Hunter, thanks for the reply. Is it possible to feed the query the SMTP address from a file? Something similar to:c:\>type smtp_addresses.txt | adfind -gc -b -f "&(objectCategory=person)(proxyaddresses=<get this from smtp_addresses.txt>)" -dnThanks!Teo

adfind -default -f "&(objectCategory=person)(mail= [EMAIL PROTECTED])" dnYou can change your search base as necessary. This also assumes that you want to check the primary SMTP address, and not match on a secondary address.

Are there any tools out there that can get me the DN from an email address?I can write a script for this pretty easily, but I want to hand the task off to another admin that does not know scripting. Having him use pre-existing tools will simplify things.Teo
