Great post. On your example, you mentioned that we could use the “exists” to search for sAMAccountName instead of CN, could you show an example of that?

Checking you have a user is great – but is there any way of checking you don’t have two users with the same name?
Using this scenario would be ideal for me, as long as I could trap the three Richard Jones that we have on our system!
I can’t do it by a truly unique attribute at present, as the system that generates the data does not hold any data other than names that could be matched to AD.

I think it might be something to do with how you’re searching for the file – I was searching all excel files for a particular phrase that I knew would only be in that one file. Or a pretty small set of files anyway.

I’ll fire you on a mail in the morning and see if I can be of any help.

ok it just finished the job and it did not create an “overall.txt” file. It just created a txt file for every machine on our network whether the PC has the file or not. How do I correct this?

Nice! I needed to find what some 160 PCs did NOT have a file in their temp folder and was able to use this to view that information as well. I just gathered that everything NOT in the overall.txt file were not the PCs I needed.

The ONLY missing thing in this tutorial is how to easily retrieve all the computer names within your domain network. I came across a super nice visual basic script that can output that information for you. I can’t upload it here so if anyone would like it, click on my name above and use the contact form on my website to send me an email.

Thanks again Dan.

you could always use server_df to get a list of all the volumes that require backups.

Hi Randy,

You can have multiple .Put() statements. The information doesn’t get written until the .setInfo() statement.

As long as you setup the CSV file correctly you can read all of the information, assign it to a couple more variables and then have multiple .Put() statements followed by one .setInfo() statement.

Thanks,
Dan

But what if you want to update more than just one field, for instance, name, number, office and email – how do you put all of those things on the PUT line?
