Help with; DSGET Contact -memberof

Hi All,

I want to get a list of groups that our contacts are in?

I can't see the switch -memberof

Any help?

Your question is a little ambiguous so I'll take a best guess at what you're after. The command syntax below will return the DN of any group in which the Administrator is a member in the domain 'mset.lab' -

C:\>dsquery * domainroot -filter "&(objectcategory=group)(member=cn=administrator,cn=users,dc=mset,dc=lab)"

Hi!

Switch -memberof is available in command dsget user:
"dsget user "cn=Jon Smith,cn=users,dc=microsoft,dc=com" -memberof "

It would help if you post more details.

Hi All,

I want to get a list of the groups that our contacts (thats AD contacts, used to forward email).

e.g.

my-email-forward is a contact with AD, i want to know what groups it's a member of. I'm pretty sure you use DSGET CONTACT to get contact information....

Unfortunately, dsget contact does not support -memberof switch. Perhaps you should check ADFIND utilty from www. joeware.net, but at this point I'm not sure it will help.
