JSI Tip 7709. How can I generate a list containing "Department";"Manager";"UserDistinguishedName" in my domain?

Using the Active Directory command-line tools, in a Windows 2000 domain, or Windows Server 2003 domain, I have scripted Manager.bat to list "Department";"Manager";"UserDistinguishedName" in my domain.

The syntax for using Manager.bat is:

Manager

NOTE: See:

What user accounts in my domain have no Manager configured?

What user accounts in my domain have no Department configured?

The output is displayed on the CMD console, but you can pipe it to a file using the following syntax:

Manager>FileName

You can use the output in subsequent commands, as in:

for /f "Tokens=1-3 Delims=;" %%i in ('Manager') do SomeCommand %%i %%j %%k

Manager.bat contains:

@echo off
setlocal
if exist "%TEMP%\Manager.TM1" del /q "%TEMP%\Manager.TM1"
if exist "%TEMP%\Manager.TM2" del /q "%TEMP%\Manager.TM2"
set query=dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(sAMAccountName=*))" -attr distinguishedName department manager -L -limit 0
for /f "Tokens=1* Delims=: " %%u in ('%query%') do set field=%%u&set line=%%v&call :parse
if not exist "%TEMP%\Manager.TM1" goto done
sort "%TEMP%\Manager.TM1" /O "%TEMP%\Manager.TM2"
type "%TEMP%\Manager.TM2"
del /q "%TEMP%\Manager.TM1"
del /q "%TEMP%\Manager.TM2"
:done
endlocal
exit /b 0
:parse
if /i "%field%" EQU "distinguishedName" set dn="%line%"&goto :EOF
if /i "%field%" EQU "department" set dpt="%line%"&goto :EOF
if /i "%field%" EQU "manager" set mgr="%line%"
@echo %dpt%;%mgr%;%dn%>>"%TEMP%\Manager.TM1"
