Using DSADD or ADMOD to change/add a postofficebox.

[PowerCat]

Hello,
I have searched a lot, all over the place, on how to add a
postofficebox to a user.

I think the only option is to use admod, as dsadd doesn't seem to
support postofficebox.

ADModcmd.exe -dn "CN=John Doe,OU=Current Users,OU=This
Office,OU=City,DC=Domain,DC=com" -custom postofficebox "box here"

It gives me:

Issuing Query....

No items found matching the specified filter.

Operation Completed in 0,0625008 seconds.


There is a user matching the query. Maybe I am not writing the command
properly?

Please give me insights to make this command work properly.
Thanks.

Personally, I prefer the joeware adfind and admod tools (www.joeware.com)

The dn you specified looks fine...Does that object exist in your domain?
