RE: re[2]: [ActiveDir] Getting computer name from a username

If not, I'd do the scripting thing - but send it to a database Travis -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Freddy HARTONO Sent: 01 December 2005 14:17 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: re[2]: [ActiveDir] Getting computer name from a username Importance: Low Hi Shane Ah you are looking the other way round, sorry not aware of anything is stored in the ad on this info.
