Jacqui,

I feel your pain; I read your e-mail and thought I had written it :-). I
went to a book store and picked up "Microsoft's Windows 2000 Scripting
Guide"  I have had really good luck with it, although everything I need
isn't in there, I have been able to find what else I need on the web or by
asking the very knowledgeable folks on this list.

Hope that helps a little...

Thanks,

I seem to be have to report more and more information on the AD.  As I am
not from a scripting/programming background writing VBscripts is a little
bit trial and error.  

Can anyone recommend any Web resources, books etc that will help me.

The way I normally achieve my end result is by trawling the web and finding
a script that does part of what I wish it to do, trying to work out what it
does exactly, then amending or adding bits (usually from another script).
The problem I feel I have is understanding things like the core components
of a script, correct syntax say for LDAP queries and object/property names.
I would really like to understand what I am doing and be able to achieve
simpler scripts from scratch rather than having to rip off others hard work.

Many thanks,

Jacqui
