Hi Guys,

I'm trying to export all computer names from AD to a text file. Currently i have the code below which lists all the computers in the console but i can't figure out how to save them all to a txt. I've got a line

File.WriteAllText(@"results.txt", temp[0].Substring(10));

but it only pulls the last line of the console output, not the whole thing.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Taran.

                    File.WriteAllText(@"results.txt", temp[0].Substring(10));

Sorry guys, got it!

            try
            {
                DirectorySearcher ser = new DirectorySearcher();
                ser.Filter = "(&ObjectCategory=computer)"; //Only allows Computers to be returned in results.
                ser.PageSize = 10000;
                SearchResultCollection results = ser.FindAll();

                TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(@"results.txt");

                foreach (SearchResult res in results)
                {
                    string[] temp = res.Path.Split(','); //temp[0] would contain the computer name ex: cn=computerName,..
                    Console.WriteLine(temp[0].Substring(10));//returns everything after LDAP://CN= until end of temp[0].
                    tw.WriteLine(temp[0].Substring(10));
                }

                tw.Close();
