is it possible to bring machine on domain through script or a program?

[leena]

Hi All

I use to work with multiple VMware and VPC images i.e. win2k,xp,windows 2003 servers all editions that also for multiple languages from French to Chinese..
Whenever I install my agent on those machines to communicate with server I need to bring machine on specific domain or to be precise i want to change machine name and bring it to different domain to communicate with server

Is it possible to have a program ,script or batch file which will bring the machine on domain automatically with random user name ? Or there is any other workaround to achieve this..

regards

A couple of things come to mind at first glance, since you are using VMware, you could try multiple images or revert to a different snapshot point in time. Another way that I can think of is to use netdom.exe which will allow you to do things like rename the computer and join a domain from a batch file...
