Does anyone know how I can export a list of computer
objects or any objects for that matter from an OU into
Excel?

Thanks,
Dean
 
Dean,

There is one solution for you as long as you want Excel! That would be
csvde. It should be natively available in WIN2000. I would suggest that
you enter csvde /? at a command prompt at a WIN2000 Server to verify this.

Are you familiar with csvde? if not, I am sure that you could do a google
and find a wealth of information on it.

Here are some MSKB Articles that might not directly apply to what you want
but should be of some benefit to you:

There is another tool out there called ldifde that is really great as well
but the output ( or input, depending on which way you are going ) is not
nearly as user friendly. It makes use of .ldf files that you can use
Notepad to open but the syntax is a bit challenging.

HTH,

Cary
