Wildcard in Active Directory search
Hi
Sometimes in ADUC, I need to find a group but I don't know the full name.
For instance, if trying to find, "UK Company HQ Managers DL" I sometimes forget the full name.
Is there way to put a wildcard in there, e.g. "UK Company *" or "* Managers"?

It's worth noting that medial searches such as '*managers*' are ridiculously inefficient when performed at scale.

adfind is not hard :)
Sorry I didnt mean hard, I just mean this is a pretty easy query why go out and install another app when the built in windows DS tools will work.
I use adfind, admod, admodify.net and a whole hose of other tools, they all work awesome and have their place but for a query like this I just like to K.I.S.S.
