The problem here is that you only want to run the script once ?
Or do you want to add the information all the time ?
I would add the script at Computer Startup level to minimize network
traffic.
Make a folder that "Domain Computers" has access to (youll find it) on a
network share
make a small script that checks if the
%computername%.txt exists in that folder
if it exists > do nothing.
if it dont exist run the script and add %computername%.txt to the folder
KThxbye :)
