RE: [ActiveDir] OT help with VBS/WMI Script

Here's what I use; you can replace the commas with + if you like, but
the quotes make Excel ignore the comma in the os caption.

DomainString=Inputbox("Enter the domain name","Check Active
Computers","YOUR DOMAIN HERE")
oFileName = "CompOSList.csv"

if DomainString="" then
        wscript.echo "No domain specified or script cancelled."
        wscript.quit
end if

Set DomainObj = GetObject("WinNT://"&DomainString)

if err.number<>0 then
        wscript.echo "Error connecting to " & DomainString 
        wscript.quit
end if

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFile = FSO.CreateTextFile(oFileName, True)

DomainObj.Filter = Array("computer")
'Wscript.echo "Computer Accounts in " & DomainString
For each Computer in DomainObj
        err.clear
        strComputer = Computer.Name
        strOutput = strOutput & strComputer & ","

                        ("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
                For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems

Next

oFile.WriteLine strOutput

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT help with VBS/WMI Script

So I am trying to get some information from a gigantic list of machines.
Problem is that if the machine isn't up, the script retains the previous
values. Example

server1+Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Server 2003, Enterprise Edition+5.2.3790
server2+Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Server 2003, Enterprise Edition+5.2.3790

In this example Server1 is Accurate (the "+" is a delimiter)
Server2 is not online so the script retained the OS.Caption and
OS.Version part. I would rather it be blank like;

server2++

Here is the script part that this lies in. Any suggestions greatly
appreciated.

For Each strComputer In serverList
        Set colSettings = ""
        Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
        & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer &
"\root\cimv2")
        Set colSettings = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
        ("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
        For Each OS In colSettings
        WScript.Echo strComputer + "+" + OS.Caption + "+" + OS.Version
    Next
