Remarks:
If you do not supply a target object at the command prompt, the target
object is obtained from standard input (stdin). Stdin data can be accepted
from the keyboard, a redirected file, or as piped output from another
command. To mark the end of stdin data from the keyboard or in a redirected
file, use Control+Z, for End of File (EOF).


The dsget commands help you view the properties of a specific object in the
directory: the input to dsget is an object and the output is a list of
properties for that object.
To find all objects that meet a given search criterion, use the dsquery
commands (dsquery /?).

If a value that you supply contains spaces, use quotation marks 
around the text (for example, "OU=Domain Controllers,DC=microsoft,DC=com").

If you enter multiple values, the values must be separated by spaces
(for example, a list of distinguished names).
