Dsquery... i must be doing something wrong.....

[Guest]

Hi All,
Trying to use DSquery to find all the inactive computer objects of our AD...
I understand the syntax and and how to run the tool, but where do the
results go???
I know i can run say 'dsquery computer -inactive 3' from a command prompt
and the query appears to run, no errors appear, but wheres my resluts???

I have tried to use the 'openQuerywindow' as a command but that doesnt seem
to work..

Its an easy one for some one.....

Thanks

Krusty

When you open a CMD.EXE windows and type
dsquery computer -inactive 3
the result are displayed in the CMD.EXE window.

Could be numerous things like for instance your domain mode isn't
sufficient. You may want to peek at oldcmp and see if it does what you need.

Or just type oldcmp in google and click I feel lucky.
