Yes, I have written a few scripts, or rather pieced together complicated scripts like a Frankenstein monster, mostly from bits and pieces I found out there. If you find yours, great! If not, I'll figure something out. Thanks! L, Me

I haven't slept in 4 days - I knew the answer. I looked for a way to retract but none seemed available. But, if anyone else was wondering - each domain must have it's own DC, at least one, preferably 2 for multimaster functions and disaster recovery. A new domain is added via the dcpromo...
