Means active directory integrated with dns server configured on the windows server...?
When you goto the active directory users & computers in administrator tools (run as admin)then right click to computers and clecik on export list and save as a txt file...

Sure, are you happy with dsquery? Nice and straight forward :)

You'll have to clean it up a little afterwards, two find and replace should do. One to get rid of the spaces at the start, the second to get rid of the $.

dsquery computer -limit 0 | dsget computer -samid > outputfile.txt

I can give you alternatives involving VbScript and such as well if you wish, depends a little on what your aim is.

Those worked great, I ended up using SpiceWorks to export a list to Excel, so I could remove columns and end up with a list of just machine names. That way I could execute a command and have a file with a list of machine names to use as a parameter.

Thanks
