ok, then try this one then, just save as vbs like before.
Dim ad, objUser, objComputer
Set ad = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & ad.UserName)
Set objComputer = GetObject("LDAP://" & ad.ComputerName)
strMessage = objUser.Department & ", " & objUser.CN & ", " & Day(Now()) &
"/" & month(now()) & "/" & right(year(now()),2)
objComputer.Description = strMessage
objComputer.SetInfo

Uh...there's nothing further to that script, I just saved as .VBS and pointed a
GPO at it as a logon script. If I double-click on it it does nothing
discernible (I realize like a .CMD file it can do stuff while appearing not to).

Have you tried to just run the script as a user?
Is there more to your script than you posted? what you posted is just a sub
routine and you are not calling it.

You'll need to give uses the rights to modify that field on all computer
objects they might log into.

How are you running this?
I would create a GPO and link to the OU you have the computers in. Under the
user config assign this as a login script and also enable loopback processing
for the GPO so it is applied to users.

One of you guys has a VBS script to populate the "Description" field in AD with
the last logged in user but I have lost that little tidbit.....
