thanks, that's what I had to do, with excel as well, a bit messy due to the way this AD structure was originally set up, major housekeeping required lol: 104 OU's contain computer accounts, and 4400 computer objects in AD, some are nexted 5 OU's deep, madness!!!! (tring getting Excel to accurately dedupe that lol)
