Joe - Yep..... I'm sure.   You're sure you're using the release version,and not one of the betas?    This method was added very late in the process, right about the same time that the class 'Yada:' was added, along with the function 'whatever (var middle-finger, str [EMAIL PROTECTED] you)'.   Try adding all hotfixes, SP's, any updates to the Framework.  If that doesn't work - just give up.  That's what most developers would do anyway.   ;P   Rick Kingslan  MCSE, MCSA, MCT Microsoft MVP - Active Directory Associate Expert Expert Zone - www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2003 9:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] LDAP'ing a computer object in AD Rick I am getting unknown identifier when I try that.

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
