You might want to look at alternatives to VBScript.
I have been using VBScript for some time now. I has several points in
it's favour.
1. Simplicity
2. Many examples.
However it has certain limitations.
1. Limited syntax
2. No GUI (except HTAs which awkward to write)
3. Very limited free
Hello All,
Looking to decide on an AD
domain structurein a single forest. The options on the table
are;1. Dedicated root domain
(x.com) and child domains (i.e. a.x.com,b.x.com etc.) based on the
regions.2. Dedicated root domain (x.com) and
other domains (i.e. a.com andb.com etc.) based on
Im partial to a dedicated, empty
root as it allows for more flexible pruning and grafting and has they added
advantage of extra schema security etc as you will never need to log in to the
empty root except for schema updates etc.

Hi Brett,
Thanks again for the command and it works well. Few follow-up questions.
Would this command be run only on the DC that I want to disable the inbound
replication or should I also consider on the other two DC's disabling
OUTBOUND to this single DC or is that not an option. Apologize
The one recommendation to make is that for DCs it's ok to use SCW to
disable extra services you may not use on these machines (e.g. Error
Reporting Service, Application Experience Lookup Service etc. ),
however, you should not enable the Windows FW on DCs. If you do need to
protect access to your
Hello all,
I know the subject comes up now and again on the list of whether or not
someone knows of a good, easy to use and *free* tool for performing a domain
wide inventory of hardware and or software.
I found this yesterday when I was looking for ideas to update my current
scripts after
A question about DNS SRV records for my DCs and Global Catalog servers...should
every AD-integrated
DNS server in my entire forest have _gc and _ldap records for every GC and DC
in the forest?
It looks like the records listed vary from one domain to another in my DNS, and
I wonder if they
Each DNS zone representing an AD domain has a _MSDCS DNS subdomain. All DCs
register belonging to a certain domain register their DNS domain wide records
in their own _MSDCS DNS subdomain. However each DC and GC also register forest
wide records (e.g. CNAME and _GC, etc). It is a best practice

If you didn't clear the lastlogon username security settings - I guess this may
help to query which machine belongs to which user.
(Not the other way unfortunately)
reg query \\server\HKLM\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\winlogon
/v defaultusername
