I'm an new member of your site and not the best VBS scripter...

I want to change the attribute "userWorkstations" of all user objects within an OU in AD. So I want to add all users an allowed workstation for logon.

I found a script for doing it only for one user object:


Code:Set objUser = GetObject _
("LDAP://cn=Ken Myer,ou=Finance,dc=fabrikam,dc=com")

objUser.Put "userWorkstations", "atl-ws-01,atl-ws-02,atl-ws-03"
objUser.SetInfoIs there anybody  who can help me to modify the script for a whole OU? (I think this would be done by a FOR loop, right?!)

The problem is, that this script replaces the existing computer names in the attribute field. But I want to add a new one to the existing names. Do you have any ideas?

I read that the PutEx Method with the ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND variable should add values to multivalue fields. But I don't really know, if userWorkstations is a multivalued field...

Have you investigated to see?

Of course! Now I recognized that it seems to be a single valued field: "Is-Single-Valued: True" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms680868(VS.85).aspx)

Then it is probably impossible to add some new values...

Now I will try first to read out the existing values and then use these and the new one to fill the field again.
