Actually, the script doesn't necessarily work against a list of computers but if run without the -ComputerListFile switch it will search whatever AD path you specify for whatever type of computer objects you specify. Just updated he command line syntax above because i forgot about the -ComputerType parameter.

that should be fine. Just thought it could be very useful for our helpdesk to find out quickly how many desktops a user may log onto. thanks.

Dean,

Unfortunately, the script works the other way round i.e. it queries specific\list of computers for a list of the users that have used it and not searches through each computer for a specific user logging onto them.

But there is nothing to say that you couldn't take the csv files created by this script and sort and filter the data in Excel to get a list for a specific user which in turn will show the computers they have logged into.

Can you run this script against a specific user? That will be quickly identify how many computers the user logged onto.

John, I would wholeheartedly agree with you, but in this instance the customer was ...... how can put this nicely ....... a bit tentative on allowing Powershell usage in their environment (yes these environments still exist) thus VBScript it was. And as I had written some of the code already a need was filled.

have to check my calendar, yup it still 2012 and I haven't been warped back in time.

Why would anyone spend time doing this in vbs now, when it's like 1 powershell command? (probably as simple as get-content zapme.csv | remove-adgroup

what am I missing ?

This is the Registry key to which you need to add the DWord value "Repl Perform Initial Synchronizations"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters

Your script saved my life. Thank you. I messed up my CSV Cluster and had to rebuild my cluster. When i brough everthing online i tried to bring VM's back in using MLink and that failed. Your script gave me permission errors on a couple of my VM's but it still worked. I owe you a beer.

Note if you blow up a CSV you have to migrate the VM's back into the cluster. I used SCVMM and it created a second folder.
