QUESTION

How can I use a script to export a list of Server users to Excel?

ANSWER

Following is a sample script that gets a list of users using the COM interface.

  1. Download CreateUserListSpreadSheet.txt or copy the script below into Notepad.
  2. Modify the server administrator login information as necessary.
  3. Save the script with a .VBS extension.
  4. At a command prompt, use CSCRIPT to run the script or, in Windows XP and newer operating systems, double-click the file to execute the script.

**Be sure to edit the script to change the Server, Port, Username, and Password to your Server's settings. Remove any extra blank lines introduced when you copy and paste the text.**

   Next
