Ldifde

Good Day

Been practising with LDIFDE and i keep getting this error.No log files were written. In order to generate a log file ,please specify the log file path via -j option.

I know that maybe something is wrong with my syntax that is why i need the log.err file to tell me what is wrong.

I created a folder on my G: drive called log and In my import command i included -j G:\Log so i do not understand the error. A ldif.log was created but it was empty.

Been baffling this. Help please.

What exactly were you trying to do with ldifde to begin with? The original commands may help someone to figure your problem.

was trying to import the following file NewUser.ldf

dn: cn=Scot Thomas,ou=Employee,dc=contoso,dc=com
changetype: add
userAccountControl: 514
UserPrincipalName: ScotT@contoso.com
givenName: Scot
sn: Thomas
displayName: Scot Thomas
SAMAccountName: Guy.Thomas
objectClass: user
-

ldifde -i -f NewUser.ldf -s server01 -j G:\Log

Your problem may just be that your info in the file is out of order. The correct order is
DN:
changeType:
CN:
ObjectClass:
sAMAccountName:
userPrincipalName:
givenName:
sn:
displayName:
mail:
description:
title:
department:
company:

I also believe ALL info needs to be in your file. ie. include all of these.
Hope this helps.
