The following WMI code will get you the
description information from a computer: On Error Resume Next strComputer = "." Set objWMIService =
GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer &
"\root\cimv2") Set colItems =
objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem",,48) For Each objItem in colItems Wscript.Echo "Description: "
& objItem.Description Next From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stauffer, Christopher I'm new to AD. Our network is Finally migrating to Active Directory
2000. (yeah I know 2003 is better but is isn't our call) anyway during the migration when joining new Windows XP or Windows 2000 computers to the
Windows 2000 domain, the computer name appears in Active Directory but the
computer description that is on the computer does not show up in AD. Why does
this happen? In network places I can see the computer description, but in AD it
is just blank unless I manually add it. Is there a way to pull the computer
description from the local box into AD when the computer joins the domain I was told this by
guys on another news group Its two separate fields. When you give a description to a computer
object in
AD users and computers, you are applying the description to the object, and not
the computer itself. When you logon to a workstation and add a
description to it, you are adding the description to the machine itself, and
not the object in AD. That is why you see the different behaviors.
Unfortunately the 2 fields aren't tied together. As for how to fix it, I think if a script
ran that read the description from the local machine, and then connected to AD
to update the computer object with the same name, you would be good to go. So i guess my question is does anybody have
a script that can do this. Thanks, |
