Great tool for finding things in Active Directory. Download it at http://www.joeware.net/win/free/tools/adfind.htm
Example 1:
Find out if an SMTP address is in use and where it is:
Your AD Domain namespace is domain.local. You are trying to find someone@myemailaddress.com.
adfind -b dc=domain,dc=local -f proxyaddresses=smtp:someone@myemailaddress.com
More to come….

Hi There,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts - they're insightful and appreciated indeed.
Hey, have you tried the Gold Finger yet? It's a new FREE, SUPPORTED and Microsoft endorsed tool for Active Directory, designed by Microsoft's own Program Manager for Active Directory Security. (We came across it on ActiveDirSec.com.)
Gold Finger can be instantly deployed on any domain-joined machine and offers over 200 security reports covering Account, Group, Computer, GPO, Container, OU, Exchange and AD ACL Management.
We've been using it for the past three weeks now and it has been immensely useful in day-to-day AD reporting. Its a refreshing change from command-line tools and its inbuilt search outdoes most search tools out there. The best part is that it's 100% supported, so if we ever have a problem, we can get FREE support for it.
DOWNLOAD LINK: I believe you can download your own free copy from http://www.paramountdefenses.com/goldfinger.php.
If you're into AD reporting, this is a very useful tool to have in your toolset.
Best wishes,
John
