Parameter

Description

-d

Runs the command in debug mode.

Use only if you troubleshoot the command itself.

Best Practice - If you use this parameter, then redirect the output to a file, or use the script command to save the entire CLI session.

The default TCP port number is 18209.

-i <Full Path to Input File>

Imports the specified file.

Make sure to use the full path.

Make sure that there is an empty line between each DN in the specified file.

Example:

...CN=test1,OU=users...
&lt;Empty Line&gt;
...CN=test2,OU=users...

-o <Full Path to Output File>

Saves the registration keys to the specified file.

This command saves the error messages in the <Name of Output File>.failures file in the same directory.
