- The output of this command sometimes shows the email address of the user and sometimes it does not:

```
# cpmiquerybin attr "mdsdb" pv1_administrators "type='pv1_administrator'" -a _name_,email
```

## Solution

CPMI is no longer officially supported.   

Use the Management API command as it is officially supported by Check Point:
