How would I find sAMAccountName(s) - more than one. I have tried boolean operators and(&) or(|) to no avail. Currently only one works. 
| ldapsearch domain=xxxx basedn="DC=xxxx,DC=xxxx" search="(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=specificuser))"

You want to find more than one user? Just add another sAMAccountName condition 🙂

The trick is that ldap filters use prefix notation, not infix one so you need to do it like this:

(&(objectClass=user)(|(sAMAccountName=specificuser)(sAMAccountName=otheruser)(sAMAccountName=thirduser)(and so on)))

I hope I got my parentheses right. 😄
