If you need to export a list of accounts from Active Directory into ldif-format files that will preserve attributes, you can try this. It takes a text list of sAMAccountNames (one per line) and writes out an ldif file for each one. You can easily import the same way by changing the arguments on the exec line and removing the export parameters. You'll also need to fix the line breaks.

'v1.1 ' The script will take a text file with usernames (sAMAaccountNames and export them via ldifde to individual files ' named as sAMAccountname.ldf.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("samaccounts.txt",1)
'On Error Resume Next
Do Until objTextFile.AtEndOfStream
strName = objTextFile.Readline
WScript.Echo "sAMAccountName: " & strName
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'you can add/remove attributes from the line below, but be sure to get the quotes right.
Set objScriptExec = objShell.Exec("ldifde -f c:\scripts\export\" & strName & ".ldf -s myDomainController -d ""ou=myOU,ou=Clients,dc=domain,dc=com"" -r ""(sAMAccountName=" & strName & ")"" -l objectclass,dn,c,department,description,displayName,employeeID,extensionAttribute10,extensionAttribute8,extensionAttribute9,givenName,homeDirectory,initials,manager,otherTelephone,physicalDeliveryOfficeName,extension,sn,streetAddress,telephoneNumber,extensionAttribute14,extensionAttribute11,extensionAttribute12,wWWHomePage,sAMAccountName,userPrincipalName,mail,mailnickname,telephoneNumber " )
strResults = objScriptExec.StdOut.ReadAll
WScript.Echo strResults

Loop
set objFile=Nothing
