Hi

I have a one script to rename the workstation and one script using Netdom to join the Domain, only problem with this approach is a reboot required between these.... Is there a way to rename and join in one go? Appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.. :)

My intial computers are in a Workgroup and not member of the domain yet, So the script is to rename the PC and join the domain with the new ID without a reboot. I'm currently using Rational Visual Test to do this, but that involves starting the native System GUI and I'm trying to avoid this.

Thanks
Carl

DOes netdom require a reboot after renaming the PC?
If you can't get away from the reboot, you might consider doing a one-time autologin and have the script kick off right after login. Then, after login, have the script disable the autologin. That's what we do during our workstation domain-joins.

Hi

Well Netdom can't rename a NON Domain PC.

The way our rollout is scheduled is to image and sysprep all the systems offsite, hence the need to sysprep without the JoinDomain setting. So the goal is to have a system rename and domain join the first time the system boots in the production net.

Regards
Carl

Here I have to reboot several times as well to rename and to join the domain using batchfiles.It is not a problem because everything goes without user input.

We put the image on the PC, the PC starts and gets an automaticaly generated name (sysprep). It reboots at the end.
At startup a batchfile gets the IPaddress and finds the DNS name. The PC is renamed with the DNSname and reboots.
Now the PC is joined to the domain at startup and ready to go

If anyone has a VBScript that reduces the amount of reboots, please let us know...

Check this out if this helps

Script to rename a computer account
=========================
Set objNewOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Finance,DC=fabrikam,DC=com")
Set objMoveComputer = objNewOU.MoveHere _    ("LDAP://CN=atl-pro-037,OU=Finance,DC=fabrikam,DC=com", _ "CN=atl-pro-003")

Joining a computer to a domain
=========================
Const JOIN_DOMAIN             = 1
Const ACCT_CREATE             = 2
Const ACCT_DELETE             = 4
Const WIN9X_UPGRADE           = 16
Const DOMAIN_JOIN_IF_JOINED   = 32
Const JOIN_UNSECURE           = 64
Const MACHINE_PASSWORD_PASSED = 128
Const DEFERRED_SPN_SET        = 256
Const INSTALL_INVOCATION      = 262144

strDomain   = "FABRIKAM"
strPassword = "ls4k5ywA"
strUser     = "shenalan"

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strComputer = objNetwork.ComputerName

Set objComputer = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!\\" & _
   strComputer & "\root\cimv2:Win32_ComputerSystem.Name='" & _
       strComputer & "'")

ReturnValue = objComputer.JoinDomainOrWorkGroup(strDomain, _
                                               strPassword, _
                                               strDomain & "\" & strUser, _
                                               NULL, _
                                               JOIN_DOMAIN + ACCT_CREATE)

Leme know if that works without a reboot, honestly not sure.

~Cheers
