Whoops! Sorry. You're right, that is from a book on scripting with ADSI.
I had my PowerShell book out at the same time and just cited the wrong book.
Obviously, since the current release of PowerShell supports AD via VBScript,
this would have to be in VBScript as the .vbs file name extension indicates.
I didn't mention the name of the book because I did not want my message to
reflect negatively on the book in the event that the problem was my fault
(i.e.. a missing update, patch, etc.).
At any rate, I will look at the link that you provided and go from there.
Thanks for the help.
