Currently all our computers ( about 120) have blank computer descriptions on the actual machines where as in AD they have the name of the primary user. What i would like to do is somehow get the computer descriptions from AD to be copied onto the local machines. Is there an easy way of doing thins or will i need to create a script(consider i have very very basic skills in scripting). Any help would be greatly appreciated . Nick

Hi, yes, you need to create a script but here http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/96010 you can find a script that you can easily modify. hthEdoardo Benussi - Microsoft MVP Management Infrastructure - Systems Administration https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/Profile/Benussi Windows Server Italian Forum Moderator edo[at]mvps[dot]org

You can from the command line net config server /srvcomment:"string" (Setting this from the command line may turn off auto tuning for the server service.)
