Parameters Value Description { | forestroot | domainroot} The node where the search will start: forest root, domain root, ...

Parameters  Value               Description  { | forestroot | domainroot}                      The node where the search will start:                      forest root, domain root, or a node                       whose DN is .                      Can be "forestroot", "domainroot" or an object DN.                      If "forestroot" is specified, the search is done                      via the global catalog. Default: domainroot.  -o {dn | rdn}       Specifies the output format.                      Default: distinguished name (DN).  -scope {subtree | onelevel | base}                      Specifies the scope of the search:                       subtree rooted at start node (subtree);                       immediate children of start node only (onelevel);                       the base object represented by start node (base).                       Note that subtree and domain scope                      are essentially the same for any start node                      unless the start node represents a domain root.                      If forestroot is specified as ,                      subtree is the only valid scope.                      Default: subtree.  -name         Finds all contacts whose name matches the filter                      given by , e.g., "jon*" or *ith" or "j*th".  -desc  Finds contacts with descriptions matching the                      value given by , e.g., "corp*" or *branch"                      or "j*th".  {-s  | -d }                      -s  connects to the domain controller (DC)                      with name .                      -d  connects to a DC in domain .                      Default: a DC in the logon domain.  -u        Connect as . Default: the logged in                      user. User name can be: user name,                      domain\user name, or user principal name (UPN).  -p        Password for the user . If * then prompt for                      password.  -q                  Quiet mode: suppress all output to standard output.  -r                  Recurse or follow referrals during search. Default: do                      not chase referrals during search.  -gc                 Search in the Active Directory global catalog.  -limit                       Specifies the number of objects matching the given                      criteria to be returned,                      where  is the number of objects                      to be returned. If the value of  is 0, all                      matching objects are returned. If this parameter is not                      specified, by default the first 100 results are                      displayed.  {-uc | -uco | -uci} -uc Specifies that input from or output to pipe is                      formatted in Unicode.                       -uco Specifies that output to pipe or file is                       formatted in Unicode.                       -uci Specifies that input from pipe or file is                      formatted in Unicode.
