Body
I had to query WinAD by oldskool username, this .vbs script prints user accounts. <ul> <li>find by sAMAccountname, use * wildcard</li> <li>print few attributes from each user object</li> <li>use AccountType filter its most optimized way of iterating AD user objects</li> </ul> Test script first gets an user object by fully qualified string, its just an example. Second part does actual query by smith* filter.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
