Hi folks, 
 
I need to write a single LDAP query which looks at a couple of OU's and returns only the user account details. &nbsp;I am running this through custom search in AD as I need to then take the completed query and pass this to an application. 
 
An example of one of the OU's would be: 
 
TestOU\Subdomain.Domain.Internal 
 
Any thoughts, &nbsp;I have the basics as being: 
 
* (objectCategory=organizationalUnit)(ou=Accounts)) = Which would return any OU's called accounts 
 
* (objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User) = Which returns any user account. 
 
I need to combine the two (Which I have tried with a number of &amp;'s and such but with no success) to limit the search scope as the domain I am querying is huge and returning over 10000 records (There are 50k accounts, I dont need all of them!) 
 
Any help you could offer would be great.

In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.
