Synchronizing Computer 'Description' Field with ADUC Description field

In my ADUC, I have selcted 4 columns through the View menu: Name, Type,
Description and Display Name.
On my XP boxes, I can go into system properties and see the 'Computer
Description' field. (Don't think I can do that in W2K???)
From what I've discovered, I think that the 'Computer Description' field on
the computer equates to the Description column in ADUC.
But I don't know how to synchronize the two. When I change the value on
either the computer or ADUC, no synchronizing takes place (after I reboot
the computer).
So I'm thinking I must be wrong about the Description field equating to the
Computer Description Field???
I have sent an email to all my staff with instructions of how to send me the
name of their computer (time to get organized I guess!). When all staff has
responded, I plan to create a batch file to synchronize the computers
descriptions with computer names so I can more easily mangae them in ADUC.
Will it probably be best to pipe values to dsmod querry (or something like
that?)
Thanks,
Jeremy

 

OK, I figured it out. There are two description fields and, as far as I can
tell, they are not related.
The Computer description is what you in the computer's system properties.
It's also what you may see while browsing through network neighborhood.
That's what my script changes.
There is also the Description Attribute in AD. That's what you see when
looking in ADUC. That can easily be modified using a dsmod computer cmd in
a script.
And here's a Microsoft script that will change the Description Attribute in
AD to show who is currently logged on to a computer.
