Yeah. I had both my PowerShell and my book on ADSI out and I cited the
wrong book by mistake. I'm green when it comes to scripting, but not that
green! It was just a silly oversight on my part. I apologize for the
confusion.

It is written in VBScript and I'm running it in PrimalScript 4.1 Enterprise.
When I looked at the book last night I was under the impression that the
section of code given was complete, but looking at it again this morning it
looks like the example given may assume that other things have been done
first. I skimmed the book last night to see if that was the case, but
perhaps I missed something. I will go back a review it more closely.

Brandon also posted a link to an article so I will review that as well.
Let's consider this one closed. If after digging into it a bit more I still
have questions, I will post a new message.

Thanks for your help!
