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 /?" where 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 * Directory Service command-line tools help: dsadd /? - help for adding objects. dsget /? - help for displaying objects. dsmod /? - help for modifying objects. dsmove /? - help for moving objects. dsquery /? - help for finding objects matching search criteria. dsrm /? - help for deleting objects. .

MessageId=11 SymbolicName=USAGE_DSGET_CONN Language=English Description: Displays properties of a replication connection. Syntax: dsget conn [-dn] [-desc] [-from] [-transport] [-enabled] [-manual] [-autobacksync] [-notify] [{-s | -d }] [-u ] [-p { | *}] [-C] [-q] [-L] Parameters: Value Description Required/stdin. Distinguished names (DNs) of one or more connections to view. If the target objects are omitted they will be taken from standard input (stdin). -dn Show the connection DN. -desc Show the connection description. -from Show the server name at the from-end of connection. -transport Show the transport type (rpc, ip, smtp) of connection. -enabled Show if the connection is enabled. -manual Show if the connection is under manual control (yes) or under automatic KCC control (no). -autobacksync Show if automatic two-way sync for the connection is enabled (yes) or disabled (no). -notify Show if notification by source for the connection is enabled (yes), disabled (no) or set to default behavior. {-s | -d } -s connects to the domain controller (DC) with name . Default: local system. -d connects to a DC in domain . Default: a DC in the logon domain. -u Connect as . Default: the logged in user. -p { | *} Password for the user . If * then prompt for password. -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 connections for server CORPDC1 and show their from-end servers and enabled states. dsquery conn -to CORPDC1 | dsget conn -dn -from -enabled See also: dsget - describes parameters that apply to all 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.

MessageId=12 SymbolicName=USAGE_DSGET_SERVER Language=English Description: Displays properties of a domain controller. Syntax: dsget server [-dn] [-desc] [-dnsname] [-site] [-isgc] [{-s | -d }] [-u ] [-p { | *}] [-C] [-q] [-L] Parameters: Value Description Required/stdin. Distinguished names (DNs) of one or more servers to view. If the target objects are omitted they will be taken from standard input (stdin) to support piping of output from another command to input of this command. -dn Displays the server's DN. -desc Displays the server's description. -dnsname Displays the server's Domain Name System (DNS) host name. -site Displays the site to which this server belongs. -isgc Displays whether or not the server is a global catalog server. {-s | -d } -s connects to the domain controller (DC) with name . Default: local system. -d connects to a DC in domain . Default: a DC in the logon domain. -u Connect as . Default: the logged in user. -p { | *} Password for the user .

To find all objects that meet a given search criterion, use the dsquery commands (dsquery /?).

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: dsget server cn=DC1,cn=Servers,cn=Site10,cn=Sites,cn=Configuration,dc=microsoft,dc=com -isgc See also: dsget - describes parameters that apply to all 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.
