I need to know what multiple OU's look like when they are exported - so the batch file can parse them and extract the data.

Using LDIFDE to export and to import directory objects

The following is a step-by-step process to import and export Organizational Units (OUs) and user accounts from one Windows 2000 Active Directory to another. For this example, "Export" is the name of the domain from which objects are exported and "Import" is the name of the domain in which objects are imported. LDIFDE can also be used to import most third-party folders to Active Directory.

Export the organizational units from the source domain

Log on as Administrator in the Export domain. If you log on using an account that does not have administrative privileges, you may not be able to perform export and import operations against the Active Directory.
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
At the command prompt, type:

Code: Select all

ldifde -f exportOu.ldf -s Server1 -d "dc=Export,dc=com" -p subtree -r "(objectCategory=organizationalUnit)" -l "cn,objectclass,ou"

Running this command exports all OUs except domain controllers into a file named ExportOU.ldf.

Export the user accounts from the source domain

At the command prompt, type:

Code: Select all

ldifde -f Exportuser.ldf -s Server1 -d "dc=Export,dc=com" -p subtree -r "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=User)(givenname=*))" -l "cn,givenName,objectclass,samAccountName"

Running this command exports all users in the Export domain into a file named Exportuser.ldf. If you do not have all the required attributes, the import operation does not work. The attributes objectclass and samAccountName are required, but more can be added as needed.

Note Built-in accounts, such as Administrator, do not have a given name. By default, the LDAP filter used above does not export those accounts. LDIFDE does not support exporting passwords.

Note When you omit the -s parameter, LDIFDE chooses a global catalog for exports. Depending on the domain controller placement, this server might be a domain controller for a different domain, and exports might fail. You see this when you examine the output of LDIFDE. In this case, specify a local domain controller of the domain in which the objects are hosted.

exist in the files?

if it possible to post a samble for each file so we can see how will these data be extracted. as Foxidrive said

as how we know that a specific word in the file is the name or the type or any other data ??
