Hi there,

Any idea on how I can determine the distinguished name of
an Active Directory Object......Is there a tool that can
report this from a query etc

Cheers
Jayo
 
dsquery from Windows Server adminpak
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=c16ae515-c8f4-47ef
-a1e4-a8dcbacff8e3&displaylang=en) would return a dn name of a object

dsquery user -samid yourusername

would return dn of user object with specific username. You can also use
wildcard for searching. See cli help for more parameters and examples.

Click to expand...

When trying to determine the DN of a given object, what do you know
about the object? Its GUID, its SID, the domain it is in, the
OU/container it is in?
