using dscl to troubleshoot

[blake]

Ok,
I’m having a hard time using the man page for dscl to get what I want.
Would anybody like to post some examples???

Here are some tasks I would like to do with dscl

find out what user accounts are in a specific active directory group and list them

search active directory users or groups for specific strings

retrieve information about machine accounts in active directory, like who is in the admin group

Also I’m not clear on the ability to search the whole custom local search path for users or groups.

Please Advise-

I use the “groups” command a lot

Example:

“groups “

(shows AD group memberships for the user in format DOMAIN\group)
