RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP'ing a computer object in AD

[Creamer, Mark]

Title: Message

VBScript executes by using cscript.exe or wscript.exe. The code itself doesn’t compile into an executable. Some alternatives would be to create the same functionality in VB, or use Perl and compile it into a Perl executable. Typically I just write a simple batch file that includes something like:   cscript C:\Path\vbscriptfile.vbs   Is that what you’re asking? <mc> -----Original Message----- From: Pennell, Ronald B.

All this using a .VBS-script... Can someone produce such an example, or direct me to some good resource websites on this topic? Greetings, Frederic Allaert
