Using DSquery to Find LDAP Paths – vCO

Posted on by

When you are configuring vCO, one of the requisite steps is to configure LDAP. While vCO has some pretty nifty search buttons, you can still get this info and more using DSquery.

Here’s a few examples:

Find a Specific Group

PS C:\> DSquery OU -name "ProVMware Users"
"OU=ProVMware Users,DC=provmware,DC=local"

Find a Specific OU

PS C:\> DSquery OU -name "ProVMware Users"
"OU=ProVMware Users,DC=provmware,DC=local"

Find a User

PS C:\> DSquery user -name pro*
"CN=ProVMware,OU=ProVMware Users,DC=provmware,DC=local"
