Question : dsquery / dsget - different results, not able to pass results to dsget

Hi there,

it's really mistery - ok normally I used the follwoing command to get all useraccounts starting with an u:

dsquery user -samid u* -limit 0

but when I used this syntax I get even more useraccounts (and that is the correct result):

dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(&(objectcategory=user)(samaccountname=u*)) )" -attr samaccountname -limit 0

Do anybody know why?

It's not so a big overhead to work with the second command, but the bad thing is, the results of the second command can't be piped to deget. I think this comes because dsquery named it in the output samaccountname and not samid...

Is there a possible workaround?

Thanks guys... cheers

Answer : dsquery / dsget - different results, not able to pass results to dsget

Actually I may have misread your question.

If you run

dsquery user domainroot -samid u* -limit 0

Is this not returning all the right accounts?
