  • Comment vs Description

    I am pulling a report on my computers and names but in Hyena my comments are blank and in AD C&U the Descriptions are filled in with the information I need. How do I get Hyena to pull the Description?

    Thanks

    Re: Comment vs Description

    The computer Comment comes from the Windows Browse List, and Description comes from AD.

    If your domain type in Hyena is Windows 2000, when you double-click on Computers you will see the computers listed in the right window, including the Description field. From there you can do a Ctrl-a to select that information, then a Ctrl-c to open the Copy List window and save that to a file.

    If by "pulling a report" you mean that you are using the Export function, this has not been updated for AD data yet, and I believe will give you the Comment from the Browse List.

      Yes I have Hyena set at Windows 2000/2003 Domain. So you are saying that I expand Containers/OUs? I was hoping that Servers would have the description. As it is now it will take a long time to pull the information I need. I noticed on an older thread the person got both the comment and description to show up? any ideas??

        You'll see this by going through Containers/OUs, or using the Computers object for your domain. Servers will show Comment because this is built entirely from the Browse List, and there is no way to change that.
