Computer description in Active Directory

N

nickg

When joining new winXP or 2000 computers to the win2000
domain the computer name appears in active directory but
the computer description that is on the computer does not
show up in AD. Why does this happen? In network places I
can see the computer description but in AD it is just
blank unless I manually add it. Is there a way to pull the
computer description from the local box into AD when the
computer joins the domain?

These are two seperate items, so you cannot automatically populate the AD
with this info (though you could script a nice little startup script routine
to do so - get the computer description from the local machine, bind to the
AD & update).
