Help needed with Specific Active Directory Search

Morning everyone,

I am looking for help with an active directory search I am trying to figure
out. For a while now I have been banging my head against a wall trying to
figure out how to differentiate between a regular computer and a server in
Active Directory. To date I have not been able to come up with anything that
functions 100% and have had to utilize OU's for servers in order to get that
list.

This is ok if you are a 100% server all servers are in those OU's specified,
however this is not always the case, especially when you are not the only
person responsible for where a server goes.

So I come to you with the question, how do I do it?

I have not been able to come up with an AD query that can give me a list of
servers across the board. Windows 2000+ has a tag that specifically says
Server in it which is great, but Windows NT does not.

Any thoughts or suggestions on this would be great as like I said I cannot
figure it out.

Thanks,

Glen.

Hi can someone please tell me how I change this directory service query so that it searches through each record in the active directory and returns all the accounts! At the moment I can only get the query to return one account at a time! I presume I have to create some kind of loop on the following so I return all the users SAM info???? Dim SamAccount As String = Right(inSAM, Len(inSAM) - InStr(inSAM, "\"))

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
