This is far more advnced than I'm used to! Where would I specify a file to get the computer names to check? I wouldn't want the script to check every box on the network. The script will be on the domain controller, so would that make a difference? Where in the file would I put in a line to pipe the information to a text file? In my flat file (computers.txt, this wiull hold my list of computers that I want to be checked. The information that I would be looking for is "computer name" and "user ID", both of which would be piped into "results.txt". If there isn't a user logged into a computer, it would reflect in the file results.txt "computer name" and "no logged in user". This might do most of this but, again I'm not sure! Sorry for being so stupid about perl and new to programming.
