net rpc join

[KCV]

I need to join my box to the domain, but thru a program and not from command line. Is there a call equivalent to net rpc join that will do the job or should I do system("net rpc join ****"); ?

Forking a shell to execute the command line should be OK.

Hope This Helps, PH.

How to pass the password in the shell command? net rpc join MyDomain -U Administrator --- ????????

What is your programming language ? C ?
I quite don't understand where you're stuck:
system("same thing as if you typed from command line")
If you have variables then you may consider the sprintf function.

I don see an option in net help that lets u pass password? Or I am not seeing properly? We wait for it prompt for password when we type from command line.

And this ?
-U Administrator%password
