DSQuery get names from user ID

#1 Post by SMAndy » 14 Jun 2012 08:48

Hi all.

I've got a huge list of user ID's (as in login ID's) and i need to get their actual names. Going through AD searching for the user ID and getting their name is a very slow process, and i'm sure there's something like dsquery i can use to get it all.

I've never used dsquery really, though. So I have no idea how to even begin this.

For reference though, i'm going to have a big list of user ID's in a text file, one on each line.

Thanks for any help!
