You can make ntdsutil work in a script. Just make a batch file. The syntax is to put a sapce between each command and put them in quotes: ntdsutil "connect to domain 1" "do something cool" "build an arc" ntdsutil "connect to domain 2" "do something cool" "build an arc" etc etc --Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Payton on the web! www.wpcp.org v - 773.534.0034 x135 f - 773.534.8101 c - 312.731.3132

It's getting close to time for our annual off-site disaster recovery test, and I'd like to automate a dreaded chore that this testing entails. Our main domain has about two dozen DCs. We only recover one of those during the test. This means I have to perform the ntdsutil dance outlined in KB216498 23 times to remove the phantom DCs. Is there any way I can script this, or at least script creation of a text file that would be piped into ntdsutil? I stumbled across a script called "metacleaner.vbs" written by a gentleman at microsoft, but it did not appear to work.
