Hi
Using ADSI is easier.
Script below assumes domain computers that you have implicit
admin access to.
'--------------------8<----------------------
' computer to connect to
sComputer = "some name or ip address"
' user name to check for
sUser = "something"
' ping the computer to see if it is available
If IsConnectible(sComputer, "", "") Then
On Error Resume Next
' try to connect to the administrator account on computer
Set oGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & sComputer & "/Administrators")
If Err.Number = 0 Then
bUserExist = False ' init value
' was able to connect to the computer, now enumerate users
For Each oUser in oGroup.Members
If LCase(sUser) = LCase(oUser.Name) Then
bUserExist = True
End If
Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
WScript.Echo "Could not enumerate users in group"
Elseif bUserExist Then
WScript.Echo "User exists in group"
Else
WScript.Echo "User does not exists in group"
End If
Else
WScript.Echo "Could not connect to the computer"
End If
Else
WScript.Echo "Could not ping the computer"
End If
