What's with the ",domain" hanging off of the end of the LDAP path? Looks like
that's the problem to me unless I'm forgetting something about how the DN is
constructed for an LDAP path.

I'm not meaning to speak in riddles - all I was doing was attempting to provide
an answer.

As you can see, the error is ""An invalid dn syntax has been specified."

When I go back and review your code, I see that you vave , domain at the
end of your DN - why is that?

Remove it, and it should work - works fine for me with my DN.

I just noticed that too

I should have better proof read the OP's code.

Hi Exotic,

Here's how to get the users with Quest cmdlets:

Get-QADUser -ldap "(homeMDB=*)" -sizeLimit 0 -ou "OU=Common,OU=Users,OU=Local,OU=Sites,OU=Russia,OU=Company,DC=*internal,DC=local"
| Format-Table displayName,cn,Email,Name
