RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP Display Name for User logged into computer
You can't do that, per se. AD doesn't track who logged in where. You'd have to turn on logon auditing and scrape the DC logs to pull that off. Alternately, there *might* be something you can poll per machine via WMI, but I don't think so. -- Roger D.

Well, you can do it manually, but removing the old printQueue objects using ADSIEdit or LDP. How long have you waited? The pruning service is governed by Group Policy settings. The default setting is that the service will try to check the printer availability (on the print server) three times at 8 hour intervals, after which it removes the printer objects from AD.

RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP Display Name for User logged into computer
BTW, you can also pull the last domain name logged into from the DefaultDomainName under that same reg key. You might need to do this, judging from your description of what you're trying to do. Otherwise, you may drive yourself nuts trying to match local account logins with non-existant DC records :^) -JB -Original Message- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:roger.seielstad;inovis.com] Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 5:09 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP Display Name for User logged into computer You can't do that, per se. AD doesn't track who logged in where. You'd have to turn on logon auditing and scrape the DC logs to pull that off.
