Query the Global Catalog?

[Guest]

Hello,

I get request for employee numbers, etc. for all people in my organization, not just my domain. We're all in the same forest, but it's a pain because I have to query 4 different domains and compile them into one report. Is it possible to query the Global Catalog for attributes which it posesses? Thanks.

Re: Query the Global Catalog?

You should get this to work by creating a Windows 2000/2003 domain object under File->Manage Object View. For the ADSI Path enter it in as GC://<path>.

You should then be able to create a custom query that contains just the attributes that you want (and that are in the GC schema) and run that query by right clicking on the All Users, etc.
