I may have the emailid or Nt login in the txt file.It should query any of this and get the description of these users...

zoofan

What about just querying the entire directory and creating a master list of all users returning,

loginname,description,emailaddress

to a csv file?

and acutally you can add any other attributes you want into the spreadsheet as well.

Above script should work perfectly please check UserIDs.txt for correct user ID's. Enter following data into notepad and save it UserIDs.txt name. While saving this file make sure you have selected 'ANSI' encoding scheme.
