SMS tool: What collection is a computer or User in?

[NOTE: I have updated this with a new version to work with SCCM and Maintenance windows collections-with-maintenance-windows (May 2008)]
OK I have this pulled from my C# app to vbscript. It isn't pretty but it works. The one problem is that I didn't create an array to sort the list so if you wanted sorted you will need to do it. I will update this later with the sort feature. Obviously I make no warranty. You will need to add the sever data and change the path to match your computer. Copy the vbscript to your folder, run the reg file and you will then see it in the MMC when you right click on a computer.

This will work with SMS 2003. To work with SCCM you will need to change the GUID and possible look at the WMI query for changes

Add computer to collection, Vbscript

Edit: October 25, 2008
I have added a better way of doing this via a right click
Here at Sccm-tools.com. This uses a HTA file so you can right click on a computer and add it to collections or right click on a computer in a collection or query and add it to multiple collections.

*-------------

I didn't create the script but someone had asked if there was a way to add a computer to a collection. I have the .Net code to do it but here is the vbscript method. This can be used to add the current computer to a collection as soon as the computer has imaged or performed some other action.
