Remarks:  The dsquery commands help you find objects in the directory that match   a specified search criterion: the input to dsquery is a search criteria   and the output is a list of objects matching the search. To get the   properties of a specific object, use the dsget commands (dsget /?).    If a value that you supply contains spaces, use quotation marks   around the text (for example, "CN=John Smith,CN=Users,DC=microsoft,DC=com").  If you enter multiple values, the values must be separated by spaces  (for example, a list of distinguished names).
