Imports and exports data from Active Directory

I use this command to get all users information from my domain (spsb.net.my) in one of the OU (head quarters). The output file would be user-hq-ou.csv. csvde -f user-hq-ou.csv -d "OU=head quarters,DC=spsb,DC=net,DC=my" -r (objectClass=user) The full explanation is as follows: Csvde Imports and exports data from Active Directory using files that store data in the comma-separated value (CSV) format. You can also support batch operations based on the CSV file format standard. Syntax csvde [ -i ] [ -f FileName ] [ -s ServerName ] [ -c String1 String2 ] [ -v ] [ -j Path ] [ -t PortNumber ] [ -d BaseDN ] [ -r LDAPFilter ] [ -p Scope ] [ -l LDAPAttributeList ] [ -o LDAPAttributeList ] [ -g ] [ -m ] [ -n ] [ -k ] [ -a UserDistinguishedName Password ] [ -b UserName Domain Password ] Parameters -i Specifies import mode. If not specified, the default mode is export. -f FileName Identifies the import or export file name. -s ServerN

Network Connections Type

ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) - the protocol used to "gather" DSL traffic from users and forward it to a DSLAM, which consolidates traffic across the backbone network. Carries data in fixed-length frames of 53 bytes each. ATU-C (ADSL Termination Unit - Central Office) - the downstream channel. ATU-R (ADSL Termination Unit - Remote) - the upstream channel. CAP (carrierless amplitude/phase modulation) - the original ADSL modulation approach in which the signal frequency range is divided into voice (0-4 KHz), upstream data, and downstream data. DMT (discrete multitone) is now the preferred modulation alternative over CAP. CDSL (Consumer DSL) - a trademarked version of DSL from Rockwell that is somewhat slower than ADSL (1 Mbps downstream, probably less upstream) but has the advantage that a "splitter" does not need to be installed at the user's end. CDSL uses its own carrier technology rather than DMT or CAP ADSL technology. DMT (Discrete Multito
