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 | upn | samid}                              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 users whose name matches the filter                              given by , e.g., "jon*" or "*ith"                              or "j*th".  -desc          Finds users whose description matches the                              filter given by , e.g., "jon*" or                              "*ith" or "j*th".  -upn                   Finds users whose UPN matches the filter given                              by .  -samid             Finds users whose SAM account name matches the                              filter given by .  -inactive         Finds users that have been inactive                              (not logged on) for at least                               number of weeks.  -stalepwd          Finds users that have not changed their password                              for at least  number of days.  -disabled                   Finds users whose account is disabled.  {-s  | -d }                              -s  connects to the domain controller                              (DC) with name .                              -d  connects to a DC in domain .

User name can be: user name,                              domain\user name, or user principal name (UPN).  -p                Password for the user .                              If * is specified, then you are prompted                              for a password.  -q                          Quiet mode: suppress all output to                              standard output.  -r                          Recurse or follow referrals during search.

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.
