Hi!
I would like to change all users home directory paths in an NT4 domain using ADSI, except the disabled accounts and accounts without a home directory.
I have searched the forum for "enumerate users" but didnīt find anything. I guess that is what i have to do, "walk through" all users and check properties as well as modify the home directory path property.
As i sidenote i have done this using vbscript but i am uncertain of how itīs done through KixTart (which i want to use instead due to that i find it more easy to work with). An example or a hint on where to find an example would be greatly appreciated!

This should get you pretty close...
Code:
$user=getobject("WinNT://@domain")
$user.filter="User",""
for each $user in $user
If $user.HomeDirectory and NOT $user.AccountDisabled
$user.name " " $user.HomeDirectory ?
EndIf
next

the first line you asked about simply prints those values to the display. "?" is "newline" as documented in the manual.
$users.filter="User",""
is more interesting. The filter property requires an array. KiXtart will let you build a an array by setting comma separated values to a variable. In this case an array is created where "User" is the first element and an empty string is the second. the filter uses the "User" value.

That is not my way. I write it your way. Just offering an explanation.

I don't usually leave out the +'s. That was just some really old code of mine that I copied from.
As far as my preference for putting the "?" at the end of the line, I see no reason to perform a line feed prior to writing the line.

I was very surprised by some of the reponses.

I'd normally let your "insult"  go, but I haven't been posting much lately and needed to get my post counter moving again.
