RE: [ActiveDir] FW: Batch Script Fun

[Robert Williams \(RRE\)]

Hey Dean…I haven’t tried it yet and since I’m inherently lazy I’ll ask and try if I don’t get a response J   Will this work against a 2003 DC as long as setpwd.exe from 2000 is available (in same directory script is run from or in the %PATH%)??   Thanks man; Cheers!!   Robert Williams, MCSE NT4/2K/2K3, Security+ Infrastructure Rapid Response Engineer Northeast Region Microsoft Corporation Global Solutions Support Center   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean Wells Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2005 2:21 PM To: Send - AD mailing list Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] FW: Batch Script Fun   Enclosed as a text file ... rename to a .CMD ... -- Dean Wells MSEtechnology * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://msetechnology.com     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Kingslan Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2005 2:10 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] FW: Batch Script Fun Hmmm….  Let me think…..

I’ll settle for 2000 & newer and the field guys can do the NT ones by hand if need be. The NT inventory purportedly has WMI installed, which I presume means wmic would work. I’m all up for a different way of doing this – I don’t know of an environment variable or similar holding the machine’s domain.   Anyone got a way I can make this work?   --brian
