Hi:

I would like to extract users, specifically, all Domain Admin users from the Active Directory file, ntds.dit. Is this possible? What type of file is this and how is it read?

(I want to bypass going through AD User & Computers to get a listing of all users within their respective groups).

Thanks,

Ed.

Very useful information in scripting and will come in handy in the future. This does not give me the quick-er and easi-er answer that I was hoping for. The CVSDE and/or LDIFDE tools, provided to me by the second respondee, appear to be the answers I am looking for. Thank you kindly for your quick reponse.

You can use the LDIFDE and CSVDE to extract information from Active Directory, you can just about extract any attribute from any object in the domain with these utilities.
