I converted the script to JScript. This is much more familiar.
Apparently the conversion isn't too difficult; you've got to replace
"CreateObject" with "new ActiveXObject", and that's about it. The method
syntax is also more regular.
I especially love the way that I get a different answer this way... (The
date is formatted totally differently!)

In case you didn't see it, I translated scott's VBScript example:

into JScript:

Yes. "Set" assigns objects. "Let" (or nothing) assigns non-objects. Welcome
to OO BASIC. ;-)

That wasn't too bad.

And you can, until you want to know the *distinguished* name of the user.
That's why they call it that. It's distinguished from all other users.
That list of names at the top will normally walk up the heirarchy of naming
authorities, so it'll be you, at your department, at your company, as seen
in Windows, in the UK, in the World.

I'm now tempted to feed Invisible's posts to a markov chain algorithm and
see what comes out of it...

To be fair, this is old tech, so MS doesn't exactly make it easy to find the
documentation when you could be upgrading to VBNET.AWSOME.
