The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

You can use the csvde command line tool to do this.  Something like this should work.
1:
CSVDE -d "OU=Users,DC=domain,dc=com" -r objectCategory=person -l "cn, profilePath, homeDirectory, mail"-f users.csv

Forgive me for being dumb.  Both of these sound like they will work but i don't know how to implement them.  The first on i copied to notepad and modified for my domain and saved it as a vbs file.  Ran it and i get nothing.  The second copied it to notepad and saved as a bat file.  Still nothing.  I am running from a workstation.  Should i be on a domain controller?
 
01.28.2008 at 07:47AM PST, ID: 20760017
You need to adjust mine, so it has the correct OU information, then run it on the domain controller.

This definitely works

Total Records found:64
