Search feature in Active Directory
When using the search feature in Active Directory to find a user, computer, etc., after the search returns the results, why isn't there a way to see what OU the object is in? Or is there and I am missing it? The only way I get around it is when the search finds the object, I move it to an OU so I now know where it is, then move it again to the OU I want it in. I have to believe there is an easier way than what I am doing.

I think you can do it using the dsget command. Let me find some more info for you.

Hey, two solutions are better than one!! Thanks again!
Agreed... there are other ways I can think of also to get this information. I do use dsget and dsquery at times also, but it all comes down to what you are looking for, whether it needs to be automated, and how many objects you want to find. If you want to dump information for a whole domain or OU, then the command line tools are obviously better than clicking on each object and opening the tab.
The main thing here is that I have learnt something new as well... which is great.
Thanks for points & have a good w/end guys.
