You do need to get the Quest Ad cmdlets for this example. Under a full 2008 environment you may not need them but I almost prefer them to the MS ones Jon 2010-03-10T09:45:11+08:002010-03-10T09:45:11+08:00 There is probably a way of doing this programmatically via Powershell or vbscript - sorry I can't provide a script! There are loads of bits of free software out there for doing this - usual caveats apply though (don't put it in live straightaway!)
