Hi Neil,
I think you nailed it pretty well with the comment "how best it ...develops the
skills you have". Good scripting skills are hugely useful for an administrator
and well worth developing.
A lot of people's scripting skills are so rudimentary it's scarey.
Watching your discussion was fun.
regards,
Rick

Perfectly valid, Rick - especially if cmd scripting is what people know
best.
Ultimately, doing stuff like this comes down to how best you can
establish the info you want to process, and how best it matches or
develops the skills you have.
And dumping users out of AD using net commands is valid and quick, and
using tscmd is easy. So no need to be sorry - in some ways I'm not as
proficient using cmd scripts as with other scripting languages, because
I tend to do stuff in Kix or vbscript - which means when I write cmd
stuff I have to go scurrying around reading help files :-(
