AD::Exchange::LDP


Using ldp.exe to look up a user in the active directory
Great tip about using LDP.EXE to lookup what user has a particular mail nickname. My more brute force standby method would have been to use LDIFDE to export them all and then search the entire list. http://datacomguy.tripod.com/blog/2003/08/exchange-2000export-e-mail-aliases.html

Using LDP to lookup user object:
1. Start ldp.exe
2. Connection | Connect and choose your DC
3. Connect | Bind and authenticate
4. View | Tree and browse to the top-level OU from which you want to search
5. Connect | New to clear the right pane
6. Right click on that OU and choose Search
7. To search on the alias, use: “(&(objectclass=*)(mailnickname=aliasnamehere))“
