Hi all,
just joined, looks like fantastic site.
I need some help, first, I'm not a coder so please consider that when replying.

I need to run a command that will do a ldap sync against A.D. and the VENDOR states that it can't be run as a whole and it must be split up in groups of lastnames like A-G, then H-......
So, the base command is "Ldap_sync". This command alone would grab A-Z. IF the vendor had scripted the executable correctly and it didn't run out of MEMORY. ( vendor is COMPUTER Associates. BOO.....)

So i need to run this command ( which works fine when typed on a cmd prompt, but NOT when run from a .Bat file. ( It does not like the % that is embeeded within the command.)

ldap_sync -c "last_name LIKE 'A%' AND type != 2308” -l “userid=?”

Thank you all for reading this and verified SOLUTION.!You need to 'escape' the % char as it is special to DOS, your line should look like this -

ldap_sync -c "last_name LIKE 'A^%' AND type != 2308” -l “userid=?”

the ^ before the % MEANS treat it literally as a % and not the special meaning it normally has.
