Welcome to the forums.

Have you tried a search for the AD scripts around the place.

Cheers,

Search for adfunctions.au3 in the forum and then you could use something like

Global $sOU = "DC=microsoft,DC=com"
_ADGetObjectsInOU($asUser, $sOU, "(&(objectCategory=user)(department=" & $sDep & "))", 2, "department,cn,distinguishedName,sAMAccountName")

This returns department, cn, distinguishedName and sAMAccountName in array $asUser for every user in Department $sDep.

Use a tool like ADExplorer from Sysinternals to get an overview of your AD and the fields you can query. To narrow or widen your search you have to define a LDAP query. You'll find a lot of postings on how to create a LDAP query on this forum.

Thanks, I've already checked the adfuntions.au3 but found no reference to HomeFolder or ScriptPath Values

Use

_ADGetObjectsInOU($asUser, $sOU, "(&(objectCategory=user)(department=" & $sDep & "))", 2, "homeDirectory,scriptPath")

to get the Home Directory and the Logon Script.

If scriptPath doesn't return anything then your logon script might be defined in a group policy.

Use ADExplorer to check your AD - that's the only way to see what information you can pull from your AD.
