I discovered this trick this weekend and thought I’d pass it along. For those of you working in an AD environment, you may find it necessary to perform queries for users, computer names, etc. You can run this command from the command prompt, from Start > Run or by creating a batch file on your desktop with this command.
rundll32.exe dsquery,OpenQueryWindow
this assumes that your system32 folder is in the global PATH (as it is by default. That is C:WindowsSystem32 on Windows XP and C:WinntSystem32 on NT4 and 2000 machines.
If for some bizarre reason, your System32 folder is not in the gloal PATH, this command works the same way:
%SystemRoot%SYSTEM32rundll32.exe dsquery,OpenQueryWindow
Nice, eh?
