Example - Use a generic filter

In this example, we are trying to retrieve all computer accounts under the "CN=Computers,DC=itpam,DC=ca,DC=local" path. We are specifically asking for the "cn", "distinguishedname", "objectcategory", and "objectclass" attributes of these accounts.

We are also sorting the returned user accounts by “cn”.

After the operation ran, it ended successfully and the RetrievedObjects variable was created as follows:

For each value map in the RetrievedObjects variable, we now have the values retrieved for each computer account attribute. In this example, the RetrievedObjects variable contains eight objects.

Also note that the values of multi-valued attributes (objectclass in this example) are returned with a "|" between the multiple values:

Example - Use your own filter

In this example, we are using our own filter (note retrieve Object Type is set to Other) to retrieve all container accounts under the "DC=itpam,DC=ca,DC=local" path. We are specifically asking for the "cn", "distinguishedname", "objectcategory", and "objectclass" attributes of these accounts.

We are also sorting the returned user accounts by "cn".

After the operation ran, it ended successfully and the RetrievedObjects variable was created as follows:

In each value map in the RetrievedObjects variable, we now have the values retrieved for each container account attribute. The RetrievedObjects variable contains 86 objects in this example.

Please also note that the values of multi-valued attributes (objectclass in this example) are returned with a "|" between the multiple values:
