objectClass for computer actually contains "user" in the multi-value string, so it is doing exactly what it is told. Try using:
-r "(objectCategory=user)" or -r "(objectCategory=Person)". Either one should work as the AD just converts "user" to "CN=Person,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=com" anways. Of note, this will grab Contact objects as well. If you want to eliminate those, then you can get objectClass=user involved again since the objectClass multi-value for a contact does not contain "user", but contains "contact" instead. So: -r "(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=user))" AD does not convert (objectClass=user), just (objectCategory=user) is. That's not confusing at all is it? ;) From: Rob Bonfiglio [mailto:robbonfig...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2009 2:10 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: GAL Export I am trying to export our GAL to a .csv file. We are a 2003 domain, and we are running Exchange 2003. I found this article from Microsoft that says to use csvde: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555397 I used the syntax they provided and subbed in my domain info: csvde -r "(objectClass=user)" -d "dc=subdomain,dc=domain,dc=com" -l displayName,proxyAddresses -f c:\users.csv However, when I look through the csv file I see that it has exported user and computer objects, even though the objectClass only specifies user objects. Is this to be expected? Or am I doing something wrong? I ran this from the command line of the DC as a Domain Admin. The particular DC I used is not a GC. ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
