Populating Managed By Field in AD 1

[JazzFan]

Hello all, how do I reference the Managed By field for computers in Active Directory?. I have tried the following but with no success.

objComputer.Put "managedby", strManagedBy
objComputer.Setinfo

objComputer.Put "name", strManagedBy
objComputer.Setinfo

Thanks in advance for your help.

objComputer.Put "managedby", strManagedBy
strManagedBy must contains the DN name.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks PHV, I guess the question should have been:
Is managedby the right name for this field?, or is just name? I have tried both and neither works.

The syntax is:
objComputer.Put "managedBy", "DISTINGUISHED NAME VALUE"

Thanks again PHV. Here's how it finally worked.

Set objManager = GetObject("LDAP://CN=" & strManagedBy & ",DomainName")

Set objComputer = GetObject("LDAP://CN=" & strHostName & _
",DomainName")

objComputer.Put "managedby", objManager.Get("distinguishedName")
objComputer.Setinfo

Thanks again and have a star!!
