Error creating LDIF files with Ldapsearch.exe

Hi!

I try to export my Domino Directory to a LDIF file with the tool LDAPSearch.exe included in the Notes client. It’s working great unless any user has a non-us international character in a name or address. Then that post turn to an unreadable string of characters.

I’m pretty sure our ldapsearch utility spits out the UTF-8 characters. Could it be that the output is correct, but your viewer that doesn’t handle UTF-8?

No I don’t think so because in that case just the international character would be unreadable. If the text is “Tyesö” then the exported value in the LDIF file would be something like “fusd39482rn9”. I export to a txt file on my local hard drive and I read it with notepad.
