I've got it to work by repositioning the inverted commas like this: <i>cscript sydi-wrapper.vbs -aOU="Citrix Servers",OU=Sydney,DC=blah,DC=local</i> So my syntax was incorrect after all. Thanks!

Could you make sure you have the latest version and try again? Tony – I don’t have any problem running SYDI-Wrapper against sub OUs. Could you make sure you have the latest version and try again?

One slight problem I have is that the sydi-wrapper script doesn't seem to handle nested AD OUs. If I run the script as so: cscript sydi-wrapper.vbs -a"OU=Citrix Servers,OU=Sydney,DC=Stark Industries,DC=com" it just shows me the help options, as though my syntax is incorrect. If I run the script as cscript sydi-wrapper.vbs -a"OU=Sydney,DC=Stark Industries,DC=com" it works fine, but that's not where my servers are and so I get no output. :) I've got around the issue by using a text file, but I thought I'd flag it to you in the hopes it's something you can maybe fix in a later build. ;) Thanks for a great tool, Patrick, it’s made my life a lot easier!

So that is fixed, still looking for Sugestions to also capture Scheduled Tasks. Thanks! I found out why the Programs weren’t showing up, the WMI Windows Installer Provider wasn’t Installed.

I might also take a look at that when I have time. Rafael - You might also have to edit the log directory. If you're unable to connect try using -uDOMAIN\user. Another option is to use runas.exe.
