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             Find organizational units (OUs) whose name                           matches the value given by ,                          e.g., "jon*" or "*ith" or "j*th".  -desc      Find OUs whose description matches the value                          given by , e.g., "jon*" or "*ith"                          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.
