Input rules for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server User Administration Tool

Strings with spaces

If you type a text string that contains spaces (for example, the user name "Julie Palmer"), you must enclose the string in quotation marks (" ").

-u <user_name>

This subparameter specifies the user account for an action. Searches are not case-sensitive.

If you do not specify a type using the -utype subparameter (display_name or email_address), the tool searches for user accounts using the display name first, then the email address. By default, searches match on substrings. For example, if you specify -u jpalmer@test.rim.net, and your organization's environment contains the user accounts jpalmer@test.rim.net, ojpalmer@test.rim.net, and rjpalmer@test.rim.net, the search identifies all three user accounts as valid results. If the tool finds more than one user account, the tool selects the user account that matches the value that you specified exactly (in this case, jpalmer@test.rim.net).

If the tool finds more than one user account, and none of the user accounts match the value that you specified exactly, the tool returns an error message stating that multiple matches were found.

If you do not want searches to match on substrings, specify the value using the following format: "\"<email_address_or_display_name>\"". For example, "\"jpalmer@test.rim.net\"".
