I am confused. I am trying to search AD by homeDirectory entries. and then returning user name, login, etc. And sometimes it seems to work, and sometimes not ...
Let's pick a user as a test: Z:\>adfind -f sAMAccountName=abneyw homeDirectory AdFind V01.42.00cpp Joe Richards (j...@joeware.net) April 2010 Using server: .... Directory: Windows Server 2008 R2 Base DN: DC=so-on-and-so-forth dn:CN=Wayneshia Abney,OU=.... >homeDirectory: \\nt_san1\users\abneyw 1 Objects returned OK, so we know now what this user's home directory (i.e., profile) is. So now let's try and find that homeDirectory ... Z:\>adfind -f homeDirectory=\\nt_san1\users\abneyw sAMAccountName AdFind V01.42.00cpp Joe Richards (j...@joeware.net) April 2010 Using server: .... Directory: Windows Server 2008 R2 Base DN: DC=so-on-and-so-forth 0 Objects returned So why is it failing, if we see from the first search of what the value of homeDirectory is? ---------------------- But sometimes the search by homeDirectory works: Z:\>adfind -f sAMAccountName=LeoneM homeDirectory AdFind V01.42.00cpp Joe Richards (j...@joeware.net) April 2010 Using server: .... Directory: Windows Server 2008 R2 Base DN: DC=so-on-and-so-forth dn:CN=Michael Leone,OU=... >homeDirectory: \\nt_san1\users\leonem 1 Objects returned Z:\>adfind -f homeDirectory=\\nt_san1\users\leonem sAMAccountName AdFind V01.42.00cpp Joe Richards (j...@joeware.net) April 2010 Using server: .... Directory: Windows Server 2008 R2 Base DN: DC=so-on-and-so-forth dn:CN=Michael Leone,OU=.... >sAMAccountName: leonem 1 Objects returned So what is the difference between the non-working first user and the working second user? The search parameters seem the same, but one matches, and the other doesn't. I'm sure it's just something simple I am not understanding, or constructing the search correctly or some such.
