    I suspect the tool you may want to look at is ldifde.

    It will not export passwords (password hashes) though (ref). Getting passwords hashes out of the AD is pretty difficult by design.

  2. I created a series of PowerShell scripts for exporting an AD structure (and then importing them into a test structure. Those are posted to the TechNet Script Center as the copyAD suite and under the ID "uslackr". Hope that can help.
