If you are familiar with querying AD using VBScript you can grab the Users Distingusihed Name and then use Text functions to get the users OU.

Basically you search AD for the Users Logon name, create a User Object then query the user object for its distinguished name. The you can apply the spit function using , as the seperator to build an Array.

I have this;
Sub Determine_Site
Set oADsSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
SITE = oADsSysInfo.SiteName
Set oADsSysInfo = Nothing
End Sub

but it is not working.

Your code looks vaild, so there must be some other problem.

I'd look at your code that is using the variable SITE, I reckon there is a problem there.

Hi, I have tested this:
Set oADsSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
SITE = oADsSysInfo.SiteName
Set oADsSysInfo = Nothing
MsgBox SITE

and it returns the correct site...
