ADcomputer fields

[cclayton000]

I like how Lansweeper pulls the ADcomputer info. There are two fields that are not populated that I would like to use: Comment and Company. Any idea where the information for these fields are pulled from?

Thanks,

Chris

Please install the support tools found on the windows cd. (folder "Support")
It contains a utility : adsiedit.msc

With this you can see all properties of your active directory objects.

I can confirm that the company field is not always pulled from active directory. This is a bug and will be fixed in the next version.

The field : "comment" worked fine.

Could you confirm this?

Thank you very much for your quick respond and look forward to any fix/assistance you provide.

I appreciate the information on the company field but I still do not know where Lansweeper is pulling the information from in AD.

I still cannot find where to enter the company & comment information on computer objects within AD. I did find the Location field displayed by Lansweeper under the User object Location tab and I am starting to use this field. The user objects have a company field under the Organization tab but the computer object has no such tab.

Thanks again for all of your assistance.

We'll try to reproduce this problem.

Are there any errors in the errorlog.txt that are related?

I'm not sure that I understand your question, but you can use an adsi script if you want this info.

Where does the ADscan pull Company & Comments for the computer? The ADscan does not seem to be placing any information in this field (see attached) and we cannot find where to enter this information in AD so Lansweeper will pulled in the information. Users in AD have a company field and Lansweeper pull this information without a problem.

Thanks for all of your assistance.
