In this video i will show you how to find Objects in Active Directory.

In this exercise, you will search for objects in the Active Directory.

1. In the Active Directory Users And Computers tool, right-click the name of the domain and select Find.
2. In the Find dialog box, select Users, Contacts, And Groups from the Find drop-down list. For the In setting, choose Entire Directory. This searches the entire Active Directory environment for the criteria you enter. Note that if this is a production domain and if there are many objects, this may be a time-consuming and network-intensive operation.
3. In the Name field, type admin and click Find Now to obtain the results of the search.
4. To filter the result set even further, click the View menu and select Filter. The filter is displayed in the row just above the Search Results windows. In the Name field, type John and press Enter. Notice that this filters the list to only the John Q. Admin User object.
5. To view more information about the User object, you can right-click it and select Properties.
6. To quickly view (and filter) more information about multiple objects, select the View menu and select Choose Columns. By selecting fields and clicking Add, you can view more information about the retrieved objects. Click OK to add the information.
7. When you have finished searching, close the Find dialog box. Leave the Active Directory Users and Computers Tool open for now. If you wish to close the tool, please make sure you save your settings, as explained in the help documentation.
