Hi poj... Your solution works great but is there a way to modify it to match the entire computer name if a part of the computer name is omitted? When a part of the computer name is omitted it returns only all of the posibilities of the ommitted variation of the name instead of all the possibilites of the complete computer name. For example: if the C is omitted from Computer1 the search will return omputer1.domain.org, omputer2.domain.org, omputer3.domain.org, etc... or if the Comp part is omitted the result would be uter1.domain.org, uter2.domain.org, uter3.domain.org, etc... If the middle to the end of the name is omitted that works out just fine but if the middle or just the end of the computer name is searched for it will only return that part in the search results. I tried to modify the regex line but I have just been spinning my wheels. Many Thanks, Tony
