You could add a redirection operator to output to a text file.

dsquery user -samid user.name | dsget user -dn -iptel -L > output.txt

Open in new window

You can also get the complete data into a CSV file ...... meaning all attribute information and then filter

csvde -f C:\user.csv

I appreciate for everyone's feedback. I am still exploring which option is best to use.
I am not sure if it is my all_employees_group has too many members, I am not able to use the following to display the info I need. If I specify another group with less members, it works. Please advise.
dsquery group -name all_employees_group |dsget group -members |dsget user -dn -iptel

Shift-3

By default, dsquery only retrieves the first 100 results. Include -limit 0 before the first pipe to bypass this.

Thanks. I also realize using a -c switch will bypass the errors.
Last question to everyone, if I need to update the ip phone field for all users, can I use the similar trick?

Shift-3

Yes, you can use dsmod with the -iptel switch.

The suggestion by Shift-3 seems to work better for our issue. But also appreciate the other two members jump in and help.

Thanks everyone again.
