How to Use Arguments with Ntdsutil Commands

Some commands take arguments that are shown as either %s or %d in Help. As you probably know, %d is the decimal number specifier and %s is the string specifier for the C-language program print and scan commands. When you enter a command whose Help indicates you use either a %d or %s, enter a number or string respectively. For example, one Help listing shows the following:

connect to server %s

You would type this command as the following:

connect to server xxx

where xxx is the character string you want to substitute for %s. If your string has spaces in it, enclose it in quotation marks as follows:

connect to server "xxx yyy"
