Suffering from a lack of inspiration I decided to rework a previous script.
I had a request on my previous messagerestriction script.
Added to the script is the option to enter the smtp address of
the user or group object for which the messagerestrictions are set.
I have done that by re-using code from this script.
Another question was the option to output to a file,
this can be done easily by running the script like this:
cscript enumeratesendtorights.vbs > thefilenameofyourchoice.txt.
Follow the next steps to run the script (no admin rights needed):
* find the distinguished name of the nested group (adsiedit.msc)
* open your favorite text editor
* copy and paste the script into the editor
* change the distinguished name
* save the script (for example c:\temp\enumeratesendtorights.vbs)
* open a command prompt
* go to “c:\temp”
* give “cscript enumeratesendtorights.vbs” (without quotes) and enter
The script:
' Name : enumeratesendtorights.vbs
' Description : script to enumerate the message restrictions (send to rights) of a distributionlist
' Author : dirk adamsky - deludi bv

This script enumerates the local users of all servers (domain controllers are excluded) in your domain.
The results are logged in a file and send with CDO mail.
You can also schedule the script for monitoring purposes.
Follow the next steps to run the script (admin rights needed):
- copy and paste the script in your favorite text editor
- change the smtp addresses of the sender and the recipient to your addresses
- save the script (for example c:\temp\localusers.vbs)
- open a command prompt
- go to “c:\temp”
- give “cscript localusers.vbs” (without quotes) and enter
