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. Thank you for your help.

Are you looking to do a transformation on the HTML?

(less fun, more likely) - AD spits out HTML 3.2 or 4.0 and thats it - fervent scripting (regex and your server side language) ensues in a desparate attempt to make this cruddy html xml compliant - XSL transformation to something useful follows might be able to be of some real help with some more info... hth, Stephen http://www.mechavox.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
