using Dsquery and DSGET

[etechelp]

Hi,

I'm trying to out put only the members full name from specified group.

I used this command but no matter what string that I use is not producing that. It only produces the name of the person but with its AD Object location as well

dsquery group -name "MyGroup" | DSGET group -members >"MyGroup".txt

This produces the names of the members with including:

(ie..

CN=John Smith, OU=Staff,OU=Sales-Calgary,OU=Sales,OU=Alberta,OU=ABC Company,DC=Domain,DC=local

)

Can you please assist me what do I have to include in that command in order to get just

John Smith

without those paths?

Thanks

The DSQuery command finds AD objects and DSGet command gets more details. To find a user in active directory:

Dsquery user -name (username or partial name with wildcards)

For example:

The result of the command:

dsquery user -name dwayne*

Will display the following:

“CN=Dwayne La Rose,OU=Tech,OU=Some other OU,DC=SomeDomain,DC=com”

You can then pipe that dquery command into a DSGet command to get more details about objects.

Command:

dsquery user -name dwayne*|dsget user -display -email -tel

Results:

Dispaly Tel
