Find the location of a computer account in Active Directory

[FN-GM]

Have you ever found yourself spending ages looking for a computer in AD? A script I have added to the wiki will find the Computer for you and give you the full location.

If you have any comments please post them here.

Thanks

I always use the 'find' button built into the active directory management console, does the job for me.

Good job Zack, that's a really handy tool.

@Mike: Sometimes you don't just want to find it, you want to find where it lives, particularly when you're looking at group policy problems.

Yes, it will tell you what OU it is in

Thanks for the thanks

Hello FN-GM,
Needing to ask for a couple of pointers for the script when you have a moment please.
What minimum fields are required for use in finding a machine account..?
I believe my last attempt displayed my domain account and domain - left blank for default but may specify it since tied to Europe.
After those prompts seesm like nothing happens..
thank you,
