Hehe I see what you mean, the only difference is the password never expires thing, and that's hardly a huge chunk.
I kind of stopped bothering to learn dos commands so half the stuff I do could probably be done in a few lines if I learnt that too :)

There are plenty of dos commands for a system admin especially if you utilize the resource kit. I do think both vbscript and dos commands have a place for in any sys admins library, sometimes it's just easier to do it the old school way :)
Then again you can do some things with vbscript i'm sure that you cannot do with dos commands.
just my two scents on the subject :)

I want to split the points between the first two commenters any objections? thanks for all you help
I would probably split points between netman66 and chris-dent as well tattsync. Seems like the only fair thing to do really since both posted a solution that would fit your needs either way and the time was so close to each other.
I have no problem with that.
No problems here either :)

sorry about the dely. I am so busy I forgot.
Kinda makes me laugh a bit though - it's like the difference between mine in English and yours being the French translation!
