Hello Team,

I need a VBscript to disable the list of computers which is available in different OU. It should be like if we can have the computers name in text file & script can take the input from the file itself & can disable it.

That code is nice, but if you are looking to a more dynamic script you might want to try this.

On Error Next
Dim StrComp

set myFile = myfso.openTextFile("\\flhlaw.local\userdata\Folders\BOSCAM\Documents\Computername.txt", 1)
