Re: DSGET not working on Windows 7!!

It works fine for me and I am running on Win7 with both elevated and
non-elevated permissions. My guess is there is a hidden character in your
string.

I don't know, but it is most certainly localized. Try this on another Win7
machine.

Typed the following lines fresh. You can see the result from the first
and nothing appeared after the second. No errors... nothing.

LINE1:
>dsquery computer -samid usushpifwv027$

LINE1 Result:
"CN=USUSHPIFWV027,OU=Infrastructure,OU=Servers,OU= corp,DC=abcompany,DC=com"

LINE2:
>dsquery computer -samid usushpifwv027$ | dsget computer -samid

LINE2 Result: NONE!


Then I did a Cut-n-Paste (To rule out a hidden character as you
suggested) on a Windows 2003 server:

C:\>dsquery computer -samid usushpifwv027$ | dsget computer -samid
samid
USUSHPIFWV027$
dsget succeeded


On windows 7, all of the GUI MMC plug-ins work great and so does
DSQUERY.
