JSI Tip 9843. How can I use VBScript to return all the users in my domain?

I have scripted a LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) query to demonstrate how to return multiple Active Directory objects in your domain. The script determines your domain name, employs a filter to select users who match a sAMAccountName parameter, defines a list of attributes required, positions to the first record, and outputs a semi-colon (;) delimited file containing the distinguishedName, sAMAccountName, userPrincipalName, givenName, and sn attributes.

NOTE: See tip 10015 How can I use VBScript to return all the users in an OU (Organizational Unit)?

GetUsers.vbs contains:
