Remarks:
The dsquery commands help you find objects in the directory that match 
a specified search criterion: the input to dsquery is a search criterion 
and the output is a list of objects matching the search. To get the 
properties of a specific object, use the dsget commands (dsget /?).

The results from a dsquery command can be piped as input to one of the other
directory service command-line tools, such as dsmod, dsget, dsrm or dsmove.

Commas that are not used as separators in distinguished names must be
escaped with the backslash ("\") character
(for example, "CN=Company\, Inc.,CN=Users,DC=microsoft,DC=com"). 

Backslashes used in distinguished names must be escaped with a backslash 
(for example, 
"CN=Sales\\ Latin America,OU=Distribution Lists,DC=microsoft,DC=com").
