Anthony, I have made components that, for instance, will do each of these separately and automatically. Each of these can be done through applications, I don't know of any way to do these through any sort of standard scripting due to the fact that you must access the SAM and ACLs for all of these which is trickier on XP than ever before... I don't know of any commercial applications that do ALL of what you want, but you can do the first two (name change and add to NT4 domain) through a lot of management applications (Altiris, etc.) -- it's just the third (adding domain users to local groups) that is an unusual one. If you want something turnkey for these three purposes, let me know off-list.

I was going to use sysprep to change the name and add it to a domain before imaging with Ghost. I have=20 found an issue with sysprep where some of the icons don't work after a=20 sysprep so Im looking at other alternatives. Im hoping to create a batch=20 file using command line tools or find an app that does the following: - change the PC name - add it to a NT4 domain - add some domain users to a local account Does anyone know how I can do this without using sysprep?
