you just need a script that uses the netdom.exe utility. Our script, to join machines to the specified OU, just has a single line: netdom join %computername% /OU:"OU=Servers,DC=CORP,DC=NTL,DC=COM" /Domain:CORP.NTL.COM /UserD:<domain\username> /PasswordD:<password> Regards, Rob Ellis User Support Manager ntl Group IT Ext: (711) 4245 DDI: 01256 754245 Mob: 07974 403273 email: rob.ellis@xxxxxxx _____ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Roger Riggins Sent: 05 December 2005 18:50 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] OT: script to join domain Does anybody have a script that will allow us to join a bunch of machines to our domain? They're machines that are used as terminals, but have the same local admin account on all of them. I want them to be part of the domain so that they're easier to manage for AV and WSUS.
