Getting the DN ( distingished name) using Taskpad parameters

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

I am trying to get the DN of a user account via a ADUC and an attached taskpad.

Though able to reconstruct the DN from the $NAME<0> $NAME<1> etc parameters
- the DN required for DSGET does not like commas hence any commas have to
have a "\" infront.

My question - is there an easier way of getting the full DN of a user
account using a taskpad ?

a second question - are there any other variables apart from $COL and $NAME ?
many thanks

Hi,

To do this, you must have in taskpad command cmd.exe with parameters:
/k dsquery user -name "$COL<0>"
The parameters name and col are automatically choosed by wizard...for
example user name attribute is $COL<0> and e-mail address is $COL<10>.

Have a nice day!

you something like is mentioned here: http://www.kouti.com/scripts.htm

search for employeeID.

instead of retrieving the employeeid attribute retrieve the
distinguishedName
