set AD computer description during deployment

[johnli]

Hi!

 

I'm using a VBS script during OS deployment to set the AD computer description.

But results are unpredictable at best (if you use numbers or gaps)

Does someone has a suggestion for a good working solution ?

 

script that I was testing :

 

cscript.exe adcompdesc.vbs “%ComputerDescription%”

dim Computerdn, strComputerName
dim Args


Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'----Get Computer DN------
Set objADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
ComputerDN = objADSysInfo.ComputerName
strcomputerdn = "LDAP://" & computerDN
Set objADSysInfo = Nothing
'-----Read commandline---
Set args = WScript.Arguments


strdesc = args(0)
Addcompdesc strdesc


Function addcompdesc(strPCdescription)


Set objComputer = GetObject (strComputerDN)
objComputer.Put "Description", strPCdescription  
objComputer.SetInfo
end function
