Hello. I am looking for a solution using AD. I am trying to identify a way, using Active Directory to management the distribution of various devices, such as USB Keys, Digital Cameras, etc.etc. What I envision is something in AD associated with the user account, that they when are given a device, we can document this in their user account, for future reference. Is there anything in AD we can use?

yes, DMI is what you are looking for. "device management and installation" you should start right here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd701203(WS.10).aspx hth Gregor Stefka

I guess i am not wanting to facilitate deployments, rather document what devices a user has (weather it is a USB Key, Camera, Cell phone.etc.etc), but to do this within AD.
