VB help request - Change computer name


Recommended Posts

I've been given the not so greatfull task of changing the names of some 600 computers in our domain.

Instead of walking from office to office with a floppy containing a script, I want to let some scripts do the work instead.

The problem is that my VB skills are next to 0 ATM and thats why I need some help!

What I wish to accomplish:

  • Collect the names of all exsisting computers and the name and group of the (last) user
  • save it all in ONE text file (any format will do)
  • Have the text file contain a "suggested" new name, something like usergroup-username-randomnumber
  • Be able to run the same file in another (or same) script and use that file as an answer file for what the new names should be
  • Have the changes be made localy and in AD

I this possible?

Can someone PLEEAASSSEEE help me? I REALLY don't want to make this long walkabout :}

thx in adv. :thumbup
