hello all ;),

for statistcs purposes, i need to dump in a csv, excel format:
-deleted users, groups and OUs since a certain date, say 1 month..

I try scripting with ADO or adsi but seems not to work. I use my domain admin account to run the script against the deleted objects container, so i'm sure it is  not a  privilege issue.

Is there a way to dump these infos without using third party software  ?

thanks for assistance

Use Powershell or .NET code if you want to do this -
System.DirectoryServices or System.DirectoryServices.Protocols will
allow you to query this. One of many examples form the net;
http://poshcode.org/141

Or just use adfind.exe with -showdel switch to execute your query

To see objects in the CN=Deleted Objects container (in fact to see the container itself), in addition to the appropriate access rights, you have to specify a special option (called a LDAP control) with the search operation. That’s what the –showdel switch in adfind does implicitly.

As an admin (by default) and all one line (beware cut and paste because
sometimes the characters get changed so best to just type the command) run
the command


adfind -default -rb "cn=deleted objects" -showdel -f
"&(|(objectclass=user)(objectclass=organizationalunit)(objectclass=group))(w
henchanged>=20071113000000.0Z)" samaccountname objectsid whencreated
whenchanged lastknownparent -csv


Will look something like

oh! just one thing.

In your command, do you recommend  to use objectcategory instead of objectclass for ldap search improvements ? or it does not bother ?

thanks again,

Searching on objectCategory (pre WS08) is a good habit to get into, but truthfully, for an occasional ad-hoc query on CN=Deleted Objects, it doesn’t make any difference.

I would normally recommend that but in this case you can't. The
objectCategory attribute isn't maintained in the tombstone. And if I recall,
you can't even force it to be retained with a schema mod.

That being said, since you scope the search on the container itself, it
isn't too bad.

hello all ;),



for statistcs purposes, i need to dump in a csv, excel format:

-deleted users, groups and OUs since a certain date, say 1 month..



I try scripting with ADO or adsi but seems not to work. I use my domain admin account to run the script against the deleted objects container, so i'm sure it is  not a  privilege issue.



Is there a way to dump these infos without using third party software  ?



thanks for assistance

How can I query the Deleted Objects container with a standard tool, like
dsquery.



I've tried adding the "Return deleted objects" control to a query in
different ways:





<cmd>



C:\>dsquery * -filter "(isDeleted:1.2.840.113556.1.4.417:=*)"



C:\>dsquery * "CN:1.2.840.113556.1.4.417:=Deleted Objects,DC=lab,DC=local"

dsquery failed:Directory object not found.



</cmd>





Is something like this possible?

Control's aren't part of the search filter; they are specified separately. Looking at the command-line parameters for dsquery, I don't think it's possible to search the CN=Deleted Objects container.

Correct, there is no way to submit arbitrary server controls with those
tools. You either need a tool that allows you to specify the controls
manually like LDP or something that does it based on specific switches or
base functionality like adfind/admod or sysinternals deleted object tool or
write your own compiled code.

But controls CAN be used in search filters.



<cmd>



C:\>dsquery * -filter "(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)"



</cmd>



This uses the "LDAP Matching Rule" control [ 1.2.840.113556.1.4.803 ]. And
of course, the command-line " /? " output says nothing about using a control
in this way.



I was hoping that the "Return Deleted Objects" control [
1.2.840.113556.1.4.417 ] could be used in a similar fashion.



So, the ONLY way to query the Deleted Objects container with standard MS
tools is to use LDP.exe? (which never seems to work for me either) That just
can't be right.



Thanks.

Well, that isn't actually a control. It's a matching rule. Totally different things, although they are both identified by OIDs. But I am picking nits :).

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc137800.aspx shows how to use LDP to display and reanimate deleted objects.

joe alluded to adrestore from Sysinternals (now part of Microsoft). It really simplifies the process. It's available at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/AdRestore.mspx.

Yeah - I guess the OID values (looking the same and all) made me assume that
they are both the controls.



Gil, I have read your blog before about the reanimation. Great info.

And I guess now that Sysinternals is (has been) a part of MS, I can consider
that a "standard" tool.



Anyways, thanks for the clarification Joe & Gil!

I just wanted to make sure I really couldn't do what I wanted w- dsquery.

Well, that isn't actually a control. It's a matching rule. Totally different
things, although they are both identified by OIDs. But I am picking nits J.



http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc137800.aspx shows how to use
LDP to display and reanimate deleted objects.



joe alluded to adrestore from Sysinternals (now part of Microsoft). It
really simplifies the process. It's available at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/AdRestore.mspx.

But controls CAN be used in search filters.



<cmd>



C:\>dsquery * -filter "(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)"



</cmd>



This uses the "LDAP Matching Rule" control [ 1.2.840.113556.1.4.803 ]. And
of course, the command-line " /? " output says nothing about using a control
in this way.



I was hoping that the "Return Deleted Objects" control [
1.2.840.113556.1.4.417 ] could be used in a similar fashion.



So, the ONLY way to query the Deleted Objects container with standard MS
tools is to use LDP.exe? (which never seems to work for me either) That just
can't be right.



Thanks.

Control's aren't part of the search filter; they are specified separately.
Looking at the command-line parameters for dsquery, I don't think it's
possible to search the CN=Deleted Objects container.

How can I query the Deleted Objects container with a standard tool, like
dsquery.



I've tried adding the "Return deleted objects" control to a query in
different ways:





<cmd>



C:\>dsquery * -filter "(isDeleted:1.2.840.113556.1.4.417:=*)"



C:\>dsquery * "CN:1.2.840.113556.1.4.417:=Deleted Objects,DC=lab,DC=local"

dsquery failed:Directory object not found.



</cmd>





Is something like this possible?

As an admin (by default) and all one line (beware cut and paste because
sometimes the characters get changed so best to just type the command) run
the command





adfind -default -rb "cn=deleted objects" -showdel -f
"&(|(objectclass=user)(objectclass=organizationalunit)(objectclass=group))(w
henchanged>=20071113000000.0Z)" samaccountname objectsid whencreated
whenchanged lastknownparent -csv





Will look something like



G:\>adfind -default -rb "cn=deleted objects" -showdel -f
"&(|(objectclass=user)(objectclass=organizationalunit)(objectclass=group))(w
henchanged>=20071113000000.0Z)" samaccountname objectsid whencreated
whenchanged lastknownparent -csv
"dn","samaccountname","objectsid","whencreated","whenchanged","lastknownpare

Looks rough due to line length sorry....

Subject: [ActiveDir] AD reports on deleted objects


hello all ;),



for statistcs purposes, i need to dump in a csv, excel format:

-deleted users, groups and OUs since a certain date, say 1 month..



I try scripting with ADO or adsi but seems not to work. I use my domain
admin account to run the script against the deleted objects container, so
i'm sure it is not a privilege issue.



Is there a way to dump these infos without using third party software ?



thanks for assistance
