Pipe in entries to DSQUERY from CSV file? 1

[wlfpackr]

Is it possible to use a CSV or text file in conjunction with a DSQUERY or a DSMOD? i.e. Let's say I have a list of user IDs in a text file and I want to check and see if each one in the file is enabled using a DS commands.

I can do it in VBscript, but I'm looking for a quicker way.

Try using CSVDE instead

Here's the command...

for /f %a in (input.txt) do dsquery user -samid %a | dsget user -disabled -samid >> output.txt

input.txt is a file with one username per line. output.txt will contain the resulting data.
