Hi everyone,

I'm wanting to perform an audit of our AD objects. I'm using the csvde
to export the AD but when viewed in Excel the format of each objects
group membership, security isnt very readable.

Is there a utility anyone knows of that can export AD objects into a
PDF / readable format for each object?

csvde -d "ou=Application Deployment,ou=Groups,dc=micro,dc=com," -f c:
\csv\export.csv
csvde -f c:\csv\export.csv -L "objectClass, name, description, member"

Thanks.

Nils has a wonderful tool called "José", which actually outputs in HTML.
You can then convert it into PDF, if you wish:

That's a German version, I need. I'll look into it to see if there's a
localized version.

cheers,

Florian
