Printing results from an Active Directory Administrative Center query

Recently a question was asked on the blog regarding printing queries from Active Directory Administrative Center (ADAC).  There is no native functionality for printing queries performed in ADAC, but there is a workaround.

1.  Open ADAC and create a query:

Global Search query

 

2.  Convert the query to LDAP:

Convert query to LDAP

 

3.  Open the Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell and copy the filter into the Windows PowerShell command window:

Windows PowerShell cmd

You can now print the corresponding text file that contains the results of your query.
