JSI Tip 7714. What attribute names can I use with the user filtered dsquery command?

When you use the DSQUERY command with the -filter and -attr switches, you can specify Active Directory attribute names that you want output, as in the following examples:

                                         F     i     l     t     e     r                            A   t   t   r   i   b   u   t   e   sdsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(sAMAccountName=*))" -attr * -limit 0dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(sAMAccountName=*))" -attr distinguishedName department manager -L -limit 0

NOTE: The -attr * causes all attributes for the filtered accounts to be displayed. The -L causes the attribute name and value to be displayed in a vertical presentation.

NOTE: See More on DSQUERY attribute filtering.

Following is the list of most user attributes, and where necessary, a brief description encapsulated in () marks:
