使用C＃在Windows Active Directory中通过Lastknownparent获取已删除的用户

Question

I am trying to retrieve all the deleted users those are deleted from a particular OU. I am using the below query and it works fine.

string query = string.Format("(&(objectclass=user)(isdeleted=true)(lastknownparent={0}))", ouDn);

When "ouDn" is the value of any available OU, the above query works fine. When I set "ouDn" with a deleted OU distinguishedname(OU=xxxxxx\\0ADEL:a82be8cf-1149-4f5b-b42d-fb6c72bceb24,CN=Deleted Objects,DC=xxxx,DC=xxx), I could not get any results but I have deleted users with that lastknownparent in my AD.

Please guide me to how to use deleted OU distinguishedname in the above ldap query.

Answer 1

Maybe I'm a little bit late but I hope this answer will help.

Just replace \\0ADEL with \\\\0ADEL in your LDAP query.

By the way, this rule applies to every attribute with dn syntax.
