Need a VBscript that when double-clicked from an admin's desktop:<br />
<br />
-Will ask for a computer name to be disabled<br />
<br />
then<br />
<br />
-Ask for a reason that it is being disabled and take that entry and place it in the description field for the corresponding computer account in Active Directory and disable the computer account.<br />
<br />
Is this easily doable?

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
