Search in AD Shortcut Key

[Guest]

Hi,

I would like to search for computers in Active Directory using a shortcut
key as soon as the User and Computer Console is open.
Does someone know the key combination to use. I know the find Computers &
Users is at the top on the tile bar but I would like to know using the
keyboard.

It's not much of an improvement, but...

Alt-A (to bring up the Action menu), then i (to invoke the Find dialog),
then Alt-D (to select the Find: dropdown) followed by Cursor-Down to
select Computers, finally, Alt-A to get to the computer name field.

Hi,

If you are using W2K3 DCs you could define a query and save that into
ADUC

or use ADFIND from the command line. You can find it at
