OK you are assuming that I know way too much about scripting. If you can
help with this I would greatly appreicate this as well.

The LDAP is tblc.local
The OU the accounts are in is called Hosted.

Can you do the script that binds to the domain, everytime I write it, it
comes up and says object not on server. Once I see a working script I think
I can figure it out for future.

Basically a fully working script. Sorry for the ignorance, but I am
learning and failing miserably. Thanks again
