 Click the container or object to dump, right-click, and then click Search. Copy the Distinguished Name (DN) from the DN field. At a command line, type the following command

ldifde -f :\ .ldf -d " " -p base

where " " is the DN copied in the previous step.

NOTE: Make sure to use the quotes around the DN.

This command creates an .ldf file in the location specified with the -f :\ .ldf switch. You can open the file with a text editor.
