BTW:

Your script is missing an Exit button. I always had to kill the script to exit.

water,

Sorry about that! This script is a segment of another bigger script and I just pulled out the code related to this task. I;ve just been using the "HotKey" command to kill the script. Should have added an exit function...

[water]

Never mind! It was just a hint so you could enhance usability of your script

water,

since you've been suck a great help, I'd like to ask another question...

Do you have an example script of how to "search" for the existance of a computer within the Domain?

I'd like to add this functionality to my script so that it would notify you if the computer is already a part of the Domain, before attempting to join it.

Thanks again!

Sure, that's easy. I assume you have the name of the computer (e.g. C0001).

$sComputer = "C0001" & "$"
$iResult = _AD_ObjectExists($sComputer)

You have to append "$" to the computer name because the SamAccountName of a computer is computername & "$".

If the computer exists $iResult is set to 1.

Awesome! Thank you!!

Well, if that was so easy for you, how about this...

If the computer already exists, how do I display its current location?

I'd suggest looking at what's available in the AD UDF collection to see what it's able to do, rather than asking such easily answered questions.

[water]

_AD_GetObjectAttribute($sComputer, "distinguishedname")

returns the FQDN of the object. You then can extract the OU.

BrewManNH,

Your right!

...but water was on a roll and I'm on a time cruch!! I enjoyed the easy way out for a moment!

I'll get back to doing it the correct way! Thanks for the push.

Water,

Dude, you ROCK!!

...but, as suggested, I'll get back to disecting the UDF to answer any further questions that I have.

But really, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
