Well if you have a list of DNs, you will then create a loop in the script that loops through connecting to those DNs and then grab the UAC attribute and check to see if the account is disabled (bit 1 is lit, aka value 2) sort of like set o=getobject("LDAP://cn=someuser,cn=users,dc=joe,dc=com") uac=o.useraccountcontrol if ((uac & 2)=2) then wscript.echo "disabled" else wscript.echo "enabled" joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jitendra Kalyankar Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2005 5:36 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Need ADSI Scripting help. Wow! Thanks Joe for your reply & also thanks Mark too. I tried my best to explain to my manager but in vein so I am back to square one. If my own manager is not comfy with it what will I tell the Security! I know the scripts are as dangerous as your util or even more so but those who know how to go about it, not the one who will be using it. Yeah it would be even better if your oldcmp would guage intelligence ;-), can you do that? :-D Anyways I will continue using your utilities free or not. Care to shed more light on the question I asked? And I guess its more of want to know how you did it than what my company requires. Anyways I will find it out sooner or later. But anyways thanks very much guys for your help. Sincerely, Jitendra Kalyankar On 10/20/05, joe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just as an FYI, scripts are just as dangerous or more so.
