View more columns

[Tim Natter]

How can I view more columns when searching in AD or just
viewing attributes. I not talking about the regular 20-30
columns that I can add.

I want to run a query for NT computers and see the results
in a column view showing the operating system versions.

Hi Tim,



One solution is to use CSVDE. Run the following command at a command prompt
(all on one line - but it will rap):

CSVDE -f C:\output.csv -r "(objectClass=computer)" -l
"operatingSystem,operatingSystemVersion,operatingSystemServicePack"

You can then open the file in Excel or just a text editor (although it will
be easier to read in a spreadsheet application).

Have a look at CSVDE /? for more info.
