Title
Can "vastool search" be used to find information and objects in multiple domains? -
Description
Attempts to search multiple domains with "vastool search" fail. This might be desirable when searching for duplicate information across parent/child domains.
/opt/quest/bin/vastool -u <admin> search -b "DC=example,DC=com" -h subdomain.example.com -s sub -p 389 "CN=example user"
This will not work. -
Cause
There is no provision within "ldap search" or "vastool search" to search multiple domains simultaneously.
-
Resolution
In most cases searching the global catalog will yield the desired results.
Example:
/opt/quest/bin/vastool -u <admin> search -b "" -U GC:// "CN=example user"The above will search all indexed information for the CN of "example user".
There is also the option to search multiple domains with a separate query for each domain by running commands like these:
/opt/quest/bin/vastool -u <admin> search -b "" -U "DC://@DOMAIN1.COM" "CN=example user"
/opt/quest/bin/vastool -u <admin> search -b "" -U "DC://@DOMAIN2.COM" "CN=example user"
