Scripting DSMOVE DSQUERY and DSMOD help! (EASY?)

Hi all,

Im trying to create a batch file/vbs or whatever script that allows me to
run these commands.

Objective of script:
To search the whole Active Directory for objects that are duplicated (search
condition $DUPLICATES*), mark them as disabled and move them to an OU.

If i put these following commands into command prompt one by one it works,
but not when i put it into .cmd or .bat (due to the for loop and the
variables)

for /F "usebackq delims=""" %i in (`dsquery * domainroot -filter
"(&(objectCategory=*)(objectClass=*) (sAMAccountName=$DUPLICATE*))"`) do
dsmod user %i -disabled yes
for /F "usebackq delims=""" %i in (`dsquery * domainroot -filter
"(&(objectCategory=*)(objectClass=*) (sAMAccountName=$DUPLICATE*))"`) do
dsmove %i -newparent ou=scheduled,dc=YOURDOMAIN,dc=com

if I use the default piping for dsquery and dsmod it works fine however if i
use dsquery piping with DSMOVE (if there are more than 1 objects to be
moved) it failed! (crap)

dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=*)(objectClass=*)
(sAMAccountName=$DUPLICATE*))" | dsmod user -disabled yes
dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=*)(objectClass=*)
(sAMAccountName=$DUPLICATE*))" | dsmove -newparent
ou=scheduled,dc=YOURDOMAIN,dc=com

Anyone kind enough to mod this? :)

Cheers!

Kind Regards,

Does your ng query take all words?

Or only those from the Ms dictionary.

I am afraid your sense of reality is confined to

insulated everyday monkey problems.

"DUPLICATE"

Yep !

Your most profound word.

The first thing that sticks out is that you need to use %%i for
variables in the FOR command in a batch file.

From "FOR /?"

"To use the FOR command in a batch program, specify %%variable instead
of %variable. Variable names are case sensitive, so %i is different
from %I."

One caution: if your naming convention and practice is such that the
canonical names are not globally unique, your attempt to move a bunch of
accounts to a single OU might fail.

Hi

Thanks for that!

just needed a %% instead of % (damn been spending useless hours trying to
find an alternative to ds commands)

Exactly what he seems to be saying. Specifically, nonsense. All his posts
are like that, and he does not respond to requests to clarify, because there
is nothing to clarify.
