Can i use an LDAP query to resolve GUID to machine account friendly name

I need to resolve the machine GUID given in a report to a workstation.
As this information should all be available can i use an LDAP query or
VBScript to achieve this ?

Despite some searching i can not even find any sample code that i could
build on...

Any help appreciated

Hi Rob,

I hope the following article addresses your concerns:

315619 HOW TO: Enumerate GUIDs of All Computers in a Domain with Windows
2000
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=315619

I cannot code for you but you can refer to the following SDK to write this
kind of codes in case the above codes do not meet your request.

Directory Services SDK documents
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/netdir/adsi/directory_services.asp

Please let me know if this solves this issue or if you need further
assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.

If you just need a tool... Check out adfind on the free win32 tools page of www.joeware.net. It does ldap queries and
will decode guids and sids for objects.
 
Both excellent (and very different) solutions, and seem to achieve exactly
what i was looking for, and quite a bit of extra info......very useful...

Thanks Guys !!

Rob
