RE: [ActiveDir] dsget error

Yep and if you get the timeouts, adfind should tell you that pretty clearly. You can then use the -t switch to modify the timeout value. I often use -t 0 to disable the timeouts on really large (like get every user object in the 200k user forest) queries.   If you are still getting other errors, add the -exterr switch and post the info as that can help troubleshoot it.   -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm      From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Desmond Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 9:45 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] dsget error The query is probably timing out.   Get Joe’s ADfind and run something like this:   Adfind –default –f “(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))” displayName samAccountName pwdLastSet   You can tag a –csv on there too   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clay, Justin (ITS) Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 9:29 PM To: activedir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] dsget error   Any time I try to run a large query using dsquery and dsget where I pipe it to a text file for output, I eventually get a “dsget failed:The server is not operational.” error from dsget. I’ve searched the Internet for this and seen posts from a couple of other people who have had this issue, with no resolution.   Am I doing something wrong? Am I stupid? (yes, I probably am) Am I missing some limitation of stdout?   Here’s the command I was using:   “dsquery user -name * -limit 0 | dsget -display -samid –pwdneverexpires”   Thnx, JC   ITS ENTERPRISE SERVICES EMAIL NOTICE The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be subject to copyright or other intellectual property protection.
