dsquery user -disabled unexpected results
-
30 aprilie 2012 12:36
In a test environment I created an OU and populated it with a few disabled test accounts in order to test a disabled acount deletion script.
In AD Users and Computers, the accounts are clearly marked as disabled.
However, when running:
dsquery user "OU=TEST_OU,DC=domain,DC=dom" -disabled
...there are no accounts returned.
Also, when running:
dsquery user domainroot -disabled
...I get results of other accounts in AD (other OUs/containers) that are disabled but not users from the test OU.
Any ideas why this might happen?
-Thanks...

Hello,
How many DCs you have?
If you more than a single DC then this may be due to AD replication issues. To check please run dcdiag /v on each DC you have and see if there is any reported error.

As Mr.X said. It might be due to replication issue.
Apart from that , you can just give a try ,
Run Dsquery OU -name Test_OU . Get the compelte DN of Test_OU , Then put this in Dsquery users "DN of the Test_OU" -disabled and check.

Yep... looks like I might have a replication problem...
There are only 2 DCs and I get the results I expect when running the query on the other DC.
I feel kinda stupid for not checking that 1st.
Thanks!

I checked the cmd in a lab dsquery user OU=Accounts,DC=testlab,DC=com -disabled and it works on my windows 2008 R2 system. You can also use olccmp tool and see if you are getting error from that tool even.
