DSQUERY, DSMOVE, Active Directory, Windows 2003.
A question regarding dsquery and dsmove here is my command:
C:\>dsquery user OU=bleepoff,dc=smallbusine
edhere,dc=smallbusiness,dc
Which returnes this:
Dsquery has reached the default limit of 100 results to display; use the -limit
option to display more results.dsmove failed:`CN=MyUser205,OU=bl
siness,DC=local' is an unknown parameter.
type dsmove /? for help.
C:\>
The command total:
C:\>dsquery user OU=bleepoff,dc=smallbusine
edhere,dc=smallbusiness,dc
Dsquery has reached the default limit of 100 results to display; use the -limit
option to display more results.dsmove failed:`CN=MyUser205,OU=bl
siness,DC=local' is an unknown parameter.
type dsmove /? for help.
C:\>
If i run that same command but type: cn=myuser203 (then the rest of the command) it works perfectly. I just cannot seem to get it to move a group of accounts.

C:\>dsquery user OU=bleepoff,dc=smallbusine
dsmove failed:`CN=MyUser205,OU=fu
parameter.
type dsmove /? for help.
Notice that i get the same error and yet i used the limit of 1000 so i dont get that error anymore. Besides i think that the command should work even if the limit is there... or at least to 100.

The limit that you are mentioning is in the query. But the error that you are getting is from the domain controller.
Say you are expecting a result with 90 entries then you can limit just to display 60 with the limit option in the dsquery.

Do can do this three steps:
Click Start -> Run -> Cmd.exe
DSQuery user "OU=bleepoff,dc=smallbusin
For /F "delims=$" %c in ('Type C:\UsersCN.txt') Do DSMove %c -newparent "ou=mov
edhere,dc=smallbusiness,dc
Click Start -> Run -> Cmd.exe
DSQuery user "OU=bleepoff,dc=smallbusin
For /F "delims=$" %c in ('Type C:\UsersCN.txt') Do DSMove %c -newparent "ou=mov
edhere,dc=smallbusiness,dc

Interesting... The book (the 70-290 exam book) uses that command when query computer accounts and succesfully moves them to another OU.
did i tyoe the command wrong? have i mis-understood the purpose of this command? or dare i say if i havent done anything wrong is the command wrong in the book?
does anyone have this book? this is @ objective 2.2 in the back of the book on page 15 of chapter 15
qustion number 5.
I would really appreciate any more assistance on this issue, not only do i want to properly use these commands but i dont want to get an answer wrong on my test.
Please Advise...
Thanks Robert
