LDAP Query - get Distinguishedname and remove CN

Hi All,

I'm trying to write a script that will delete Global Security groups in bulk. The script reads the group names from a file, finds it in the domain(could be in any OU, we've got multiple OUs) and deletes it.

So far this is what i got ... this is my problem ...
I'm now setting the objOU myself, i need the script to set this automatically depending on which OU the group is in the domain.
I can get the ADSPath but i can't remove the CN only, i end up with an array i need to join them back.
Could you suggest a solution or an alternative method?

Set objOU= GetObject("LDAP://q1-core.q1.aig.net/OU=Groups,OU=Livingston_NJ,OU=AIGT,OU=Q1,DC=q1-core,DC=q1,DC=aig,DC=net")

The script below so far .... (have not worked on the read from file yet, trying to get the delete running 1st)


strGroup = WScript.Arguments (0)
On Error Resume Next
Const ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE = 2

Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set objCommand = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
objConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"
objConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider"
Set objCommand.ActiveConnection = objConnection

objCommand.Properties("Page Size") = 1000
objCommand.Properties("Searchscope") = ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE
objCommandProperties("Sort On") = "Name"




Wscript.echo "check1" + strGroup

objCommand.CommandText = _
    "SELECT ADsPath, distinguishedName FROM 'LDAP://q1-core.q1.aig.net' WHERE cn='" & strGroup &"'"

Set objRecordSet = objCommand.Execute
objRecordSet.MoveFirst

Do Until objRecordSet.EOF
    strPath = objRecordSet.Fields("ADsPath").Value
    Set objGroup = GetObject(strPath)
    Set objOU= GetObject("LDAP://q1-core.q1.aig.net/OU=Groups,OU=Livingston_NJ,OU=AIGT,OU=Q1,DC=q1-core,DC=q1,DC=aig,DC=net")
    Wscript.Echo "Group: " & strPath

    strDN = objRecordSet.Fields("distinguishedName").Value
    arrTemp = Split(strDN, ",")
    strOU = arrTemp(0)    

    Wscript.echo strOU

    objOU.Delete "group", strOU

    objRecordSet.MoveNext
