I work for a mid-size org and am almost certainly the only Systems Engineer here who is willing to take the time to try and maintain AD. If I do an AD query of systems with "description has a value" I come up with 191 objects. A search of computers with "description has a no value" comes up with 811, and since NWEA has ~250 employees and 140-ish servers I'm pretty sure there is a ton of clutter in there. Ferreting out the invalid desktops/laptops is the bigger issue of the two. Suggestions?
