  4. Select UserFields and click Open.
  5. Select the Import and AlwaysImport checkboxes for the 'Department' and 'Manager' fields.
  6. Select Save from the File drop down menu.
  7. Select Exit from the File drop down menu.
  8.  Launch the Directory and Resource Reporting interface, ensure that User account details is selected, and perform an Import.
  9. When the import is complete, close the 'Import' screen.
  10. Select Enter Design Mode from theFile drop down menu.
  11. Select Queries from the Objects list.
  12. Select Create query in Design view and click Open.
  13. Select USERS from the list under the 'Tables' tab in the 'Show Table' dialog box.
  14. Click Add | Close.
  15. Double-click cn, department, and manager from the list in the USERS window.
  16. Select Save As from the File drop down menu, name the query "Department and Manager", and click OK.

  21. Click the> button to move the 'CN','Manager', and 'Department' fields to the Selected Fields: box and click Next.
  22. Continue with the wizard, customizing the report format as needed.  Notice that you can set the  grouping levels for ease of viewing, sorting by 'CN', by 'Department', or by 'Manager'.
