SymbolicName=USAGE_DSGET
Language=English
Description:  This tool's commands display the selected properties of a specific object in the directory. The dsget commands:

dsget computer - displays properties of computers in the directory.
dsget contact - displays properties of contacts in the directory.
dsget subnet - displays properties of subnets in the directory.
dsget group - displays properties of groups in the directory.
dsget ou - displays properties of ou's in the directory.
dsget server - displays properties of servers in the directory.
dsget site - displays properties of sites in the directory.
dsget user - displays properties of users in the directory.

To display an arbitrary set of attributes of any given object in the directory use the dsquery * command (see examples below).

For help on a specific command, type "dsget <ObjectType> /?" where <ObjectType> is
one of the supported object types shown above. For example, dsget ou /?.

Remarks:
The dsget commands help you to view the properties of a specific object in the directory: the input to dsget is an object and the output is a list of properties for that object. To find all objects that meet a given search criterion, use the dsquery commands (dsquery /?).

The dsget commands support piping of input to allow you to pipe results from the dsquery commands as input to the dsget commands and display detailed information on the objects found by the dsquery commands.

Examples:
To find all users with names starting with "John" and display their office numbers:

dsquery user -name John* | dsget user -office

To display the sAMAccountName, userPrincipalName and department attributes of the object whose DN is ou=Test,dc=microsoft,dc=com:

Dsquery * -startnode ou=Test,dc=microsoft,dc=com -scope base -attr sAMAccountName userPrincipalName department

To read all attributes of any object use the dsquery * command. For example, to read all attributes of the object whose DN is ou=Test,dc=microsoft,dc=com:

Dsquery * -startnode ou=Test,dc=microsoft,dc=com -scope base -attr *

dsget /? - help for displaying objects.
dsmod /? - help for modifying objects.
dsmove /? - help for moving objects.
dsquery /? - help for finding objects matching search criteria.

              of multiple computers. The second variation allows
              you to view the membership information of a single computer.

                    the immediate group membership list of the computer
                    and then recursively expands each group in this list to 
                    determine its group memberships and arrive at a

                    to support piping of output from another command
                    to input of this command. Compare with <ObjectDN> below.
-dn                 Displays the group DN.

<ObjectDN>          Required. DN of group to view.
-memberof           Displays the groups of which the group is a member.
                    This applies to the second instruction set.
-members            Displays the members of the group.
-expand             For -memberof, displays the recursively expanded 
                    list of groups of which the group is a member.
                    This option takes the immediate group membership list 
                    of the group and then recursively expands each group
                    in this list to determine its group memberships
                    and arrive at a complete set of the groups.
                    For -member, displays the recursively expanded list
                    of members of the group. This option takes the 
                    immediate list of members of the group and 
                    then recursively expands each group in this list 
                    to determine its group memberships and arrive 
                    at a complete set of its members.

Remarks:
The dsget commands help you view the properties of a specific object in the directory:
the input to dsget is an object and the output is a list of properties for that object.
To find all objects that meet a given search criterion, use the dsquery commands
(dsquery /?).

If a value that you supply contains spaces, use quotation marks 
around the text (for example, "CN=USA Sales,OU=Distribution Lists,DC=microsoft,DC=com").
If you enter multiple values, the values must be separated by spaces
(for example, a list of distinguished names). 

Examples:
To find all groups in a given OU whose names start with "adm" and display their
descriptions.

    dsquery group -startnode ou=Test,dc=microsoft,dc=com -name adm* | 
    dsget group -desc

To display the list of members, recursively expanded, of the group "Backup
Operators":

    dsget group "CN=Backup Operators,ou=Test,dc=microsoft,dc=com" -members -expand

-C                      Continuous operation mode: report errors but continue
                        with next object in argument list when multiple target
                        objects are specified. Without this option, command
                        exits on first error.
-q                      Quiet mode: suppress all output to standard output.
-L                      Displays the entries in the search result set in a
                        list format. Default: table format.

Remarks:
The dsget commands help you view the properties of a specific object in the directory:
the input to dsget is an object and the output is a list of properties for that object.
To find all objects that meet a given search criterion, use the dsquery commands
(dsquery /?).

If a value that you supply contains spaces, use quotation marks 
around the text (for example, "CN=John Smith,CN=Users,DC=microsoft,DC=com").
If you enter multiple values, the values must be separated by spaces
(for example, a list of distinguished names). 
Examples:
To find all SMTP sitelinks in the forest and display their associated sites.

    dsquery slink -transport smtp | dsget slink -dn -site

-C                  Continuous operation mode: report errors but continue
                    with next object in argument list when multiple target
                    objects are specified. Without this option, command
                    exits on first error.
-q                  Quiet mode: suppress all output to standard output.
-L                  Displays the entries in the search result set in a

Remarks:
The dsget commands help you view the properties of a specific object in the directory:
the input to dsget is an object and the output is a list of properties for that object.
To find all objects that meet a given search criterion, use the dsquery commands

CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=microsoft,DC=com").
If you enter multiple values, the values must be separated by spaces
(for example, a list of distinguished names). 

Examples:
To find all domain controllers for domain corp.microsoft.com and display their DNS host
name and site name.

    dsquery server -domain corp.microsoft.com | 
    dsget server -dnsname -site

To show if a domain controller with name DC1 is also a global catalog server:
