way to list all computers in AD

Use that same great adfind tool I suggested for the users question last night
adfind -default -f objectcategory=computer   name operatingsystem -csv >  c:\ComputersOS.csv
That will give you a csv on your C drive with the machine names and the OS.
 Thanks

Im gonna go with my old standby of the DS series of tools again.

The queries would be something like this

windows 2000
dsquery computer * -filter "(&(objectCategory=computer)(operatingSystem=windows 2000*))"

windows xp
dsquery computer * -filter "(&(objectCategory=computer)(operatingSystem=windows xp*))"

server 2003
dsquery computer * -filter "(&(objectCategory=computer)(operatingSystem=windows server 2003*))"

Hi,
You can also use a web Base application name as ADManager Plus to get the reports of Computer Account in Active Directory forest.
Its free for 30 days &.

I just looking for count of the OS
XP - 200
Win2000 - 462

Just Count

Dear mkline71,

The result appear like:
CN=ZAJIL,CN=Computers,DC=noce,DC=com,"ZAJIL","Windows Server 2003"

is there a way to make better than this, like

ComputerName                           OS
Zajil                                    windows 2003


Also, is there a way to count the result:
windwos 2003 ---- 512 computers

thanks

adfind -default -f objectcategory=computer   name operatingsystem -csv -nodn  >  c:\ComputersOS.csv
Try that to get rid of the DN, and open it using excel.
No way to get the count like that but if you do something like
adfind -default -f  "&(objectcategory=computer)(operating system= Windows Server 2003)"  -c
That will give you a count of Windows server 2003 machines (-c switch is for count in adfind)

I try this

adfind -default -f  "&(objectcategory=computer)(operating system= Windows Server 2003)"  -c

the result:
0 Objects returned

Sure i have a lot of windows 2003
