I think I've found a solution for this. I found a utility that will query active directory then query the machines that are online.

Cool. I'll have to take a look at that. This utility I found will output the information to a web page which is what I wanted to create. Sometimes it's good to do a little searching before developing. -Original Message- From: Stephen Caudill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 2:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [wdvltalk] RE: XML help (I'm a beginner) --- Hoenig, Robert wrote: --- : I think I've found a solution for this.
