This is pretty newb, but here goes anyways. I have a list computer
names and I'm trying to search for them in active directory. Using
"Find" in Active Directory Users and Computers it only allows me to
specify a single computer name. Is their away I can list multiple
computer names rather than typing one name?

you could do partials if the first part of the name is the same.

if your looking for dallas001, dallas002, dallas003 etc
then a search for dall will get you all the machines.

or go to the advanced tab, if you know the machines have a common
attribute(location maybe), then you can specify it here and do a search with
the main seach box blank. you'll get all your machines that way.
