I had two system exhibiting this symptom. Wish there was an official way to install an older cygwin, like 1.7.27 or .26. No other commands are behaving differently that I am aware of. I did reinstall win7 ent on my second system, installed RSAT and cygwin and dsquery works again. Not sure what I did in both systems to create this problem. I though it was Proxy32 for proxywinconsole.exe which let me go interactive from a cygwin shell to powershell for my powershell wrapper (see https://bitbucket.org/jbianchi/powershell) but I only installed that on my main system. I'll rebuild and continue to install all the utils to see what breaks it again. The RSAT tools give command line access to AD and lets me script so much. I'm blown away by how a windows admin will work so inefficiently using the Active Directory User and Computers GUI tool. Batch scripting is terrible and the windows console is worse. And don't start me on Powershell! Powershell has a crappy console, no history retention ... how can they be valid shells/consoles? You just dont develop ps1 scripts to call ps1 scripts to build more powerfull utils in powershell like you do in unix. Cygwin with RXVT gives me a complete enough unix shell with a great console (cut and paste anyone?). I can script mixing powershell, dos batch and cygwin I can make windows managable. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
