I support a lot of small businesses and am always looking for admin
shortcuts. I try to use fairly generic workstation names, and I put the
users' full names in the computer object's decscription field so I know who
to connect to for remote support, etc.
The problem is, of course, that users and computers over time will tend to
move, retire, quit, whatnot. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to somehow
populate the description field with the name of the user who has logged into
it. It would be fine if this happened every day (as long as it wasn't a
lengthy or disruptive process). I would want this to be the object's
description field, not the computer's local description field, so I can see
it all in ADUC.
I figured I'd go ask some smart geeky people. Any ideas?
