Deroode,
pretty close..., for your first, I created this one line script, which pretty much does what I need but I don't know how to split the result into the two columns
for /f "tokens=1" %a in (computerlist.txt) DO dsquery computer -name %a>>output.csv
so this is what CSV would look like e.g.
CN=WORKSTATION1,OU=Compute rs,OU=Mark eting,OU=H ollywood,O U=USA,DC=c orp,DC=acm e,DC=com
do you know how to split the result csv like so?
Column A Column B
cn=workstation1 OU=Computers,OU=Marketing, OU=Hollywo od,OU=USA, DC=corp,DC =acme,DC=c om

I wouldn't know how to do that; mainly because the output of de dsquery command is in fact a comma separated list, and for the csv file you actually want the first name, a comma, and then the rest of the line in quotes so the result is:
"cn=workstation1","OU=Comp uters,OU=M arketing,O U=Hollywoo d,OU=USA,D C=corp,DC= acme,DC=co m "
Maybe with some tricks you could do that in one line, but i guess that would become quite unreadable. My script does the job and is pretty straightforward....
"cn=workstation1","OU=Comp
