ADS Input Format From-Entity Syntax
| <from-entity> | ::= | [[<provider>:]//[<username>:<password>@]<domain>]/<path> [ ; ...] |
Each LDAP path begins with an optional provider name (e.g. "IIS", "LDAP"), followed by an optional domain or computer name. If a provider name is not specified, then "IIS" is assumed by default. If a domain name or computer name is not specified, then "localhost" is assumed by default.
The from-entity can optionally include a username and a password to be used for the connection to the Active Directory provider. When these are not specified, the ADS input format uses the current user's credentials.
Note: LDAP paths containing comma (,) characters
should be enclosed within single-quote (') characters.
Examples:
FROM IIS://COMPUTER01/W3SVC/1
FROM IIS://MyUsername:MyPassword@COMPUTER01/W3SVC/1
FROM 'LDAP://MyDomain/CN=Users,DC=MyDomain,DC=com'
FROM 'LDAP://MyUsername:MyPassword@MyDomain/CN=Users,DC=MyDomain,DC=com'
FROM /W3SVC/1;/W3SVC/2;//COMPUTER02/W3SVC/1
