what is the sytax to export users info from one of the OU in AD

[fatchai]

hi :

i m trying to learn csvde command and hope can use it to do some batch processing in AD. ... i tried to export a user list from an OU in my AD. The command showed successful but no data was captured into the csv file.
i m not sure whether i specified the correct sytax in the command...the structure of my AD is as follows

na.corp.abcd.net
|_ A_city
|_ A_office
|_ A_devision
|_users


so on my cmd prompt, i specified :

csvde -d "ou=acity, ou=a_office, ou=a_devision, ou=users"
-f xxxxx.csv

No entry found ...
command has completed successfully

then returned to the command prompt.

Anyone can point me to the right direction pls ?

ou=acity, ou=a_office, ou=a_devision, ou=users"
is not a valid LDAP path.

Use ADSIEdit to determine the proper LDAP path for your OU.

Personally I would use VBScript instead of CSVDE. It is a lot more flexible and less cryptic.

I hope you find this post helpful.

You've got it backwards, and I think you have to specify all the way up the tree. Assuming I'm reading correctly that you've got a child domain of a child domain of the root, the correct path would be:
"ou=users, ou=A_devision, ou=A_office, ou=A_City, dc=na, dc=corp, dc=abcd, dc=net
