Need script to produce a list of computer accounts with descriptions in a given OU
Looking for a script that will give me a list of computer accounts (text file or CSV) in a given OU along with the description field.

Hi Mike -- Both solutions appear to provide me with the data I need, I was just hoping to get either a VB or PowerShell script so that I could take a look and see how it was done via one of those methods. If no-one has a script that will do this, I will accept your answer as the solution. Either way, I'll give you partial credit. Thanks!

That's exactly what I was looking for. The other tools were good, but I'm trying to get a handle on how to do some of this stuff via script. Thanks!
no problem, and you can do this with vbscript...but learning powershell is much better for future jobs :)

I like adfind (free command line tool from MVP Joe Richards)

adfind -b "DN of your OU" "objectcategory =computer" name description -csv > computers.csv
You can also use csvde, powershell, and other methods.
Thanks
Mike
