Hello, beside scripting you can create WDS server for installing the OS and then use that one to add the machines automatically to the domain.Best regards Meinolf Weber MVP, MCP, MCTS Microsoft MVP - Directory Services My Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/ Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

If you have SCCM in place, you may also leverage SCCM OSD features to deploy and join machines automatically to the domain.A UNIVERSE without WINDOWS is CHAOS ! This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights. About Me ?
