I wouldn't do that... I'd just access the registry direct to put in the users/domains ... we've written a COM object that handles all of that, but I'm afraid we can't share. > I would like to do this on a centralized "administrative server".

You can setup helper web services on each of the machines that actually run the script, and get the centralised server to talk to the remote servers to run it, XML like you said is a handy transport mechanism for the information you need. > The mail server is not runinng .Net (in the future, I'd do it as an XML > dot Net web service, but not ready for that yet.) MSXML 4 and ASP3 make it really easy anyway to use XML as a control mechanism without .Net Keif Gwinn IARNA, a Hostway Company scotts sufferance wharf 1 mill street. london. se1 united kingdom t/ +44 207 231 7766 f/ +44 207 231 2327 www.iarna.co.uk Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
