How can I change the computername "description" of
machines using WMI. I have a locked down user environment
so it would have to be done with admin rights.

Hi,
Computer description can be set with ADSI and VBScript.
WMI is not needed. The procedure is exactly the same for
user and computer objects. Technically, the "description"
attribute is multi-valued. The "proper" way is to use the
PutEx method, even though only one value is allowed.
Assuming sufficient rights:
Const ADS_PROPERTY_UPDATE = 2
Set oComputer = GetObject_
("LDAP://cn=MyComputer,cn=computers,dc=MyDomain,dc=com")
oComputer.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_UPDATE, _
"description", Array("Admin Computer")
