Great site. Just had a quick read.
Is it possible to change which domain to use on Windows 10 with
rundll32 dsquery.dll,OpenQueryWindow
On the top window you have a drop-down button called Entire Directory , you can select from the drop-down which domain you want to search.
Thanks for your reply.
I was aware about that, but can’t change it there.
Was wondering is there was any way of doing it in the string: rundll32 dsquery.dll,OpenQueryWindow ?
Got It! you might need to use PowerShell for more granular search.
Thanks, I’ll give it a go.
