Hey all,

So I'm trying to create a job that restarts all computers within an AD OU. We have tried doing it using "Get AD Group Members" but want to make something more automated, in case we forget to add a computer to the security group.

Is there a way to get all computers from an OU (or possibly multiple OUs) and then have a loop that runs a restart command on them?

If that Task does not return what you want maybe the easiest way is to create some lines in .NET and run in the .NET code Task. Then you can loop through the list of the result from that Task and restart them.

Did you ever figure this out? We want to do the same thing. We tried to do this with PowerShell, but can't get it to work.

I get this:

ExecuteProcess("C:\Program Files\VisualCron\\TaskPowerShell.exe" 15498)->System.Management.Automation.CommandNotFoundException: The term 'Get-ADComputer' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Yea, that's I was afraid of. This is a Server 2003 machine.
