Renaming Computer...

[nicknel9]

Hi all, Here is what I am trying to write a script for.. We have a new domain.. Out Techs will have to visit each computer and do these things can someone help with a script to do so..

1 Rename the Machine-
2 check for "admin" account if none add "admin" account make it part of administrators with the password of "tobad"
3 make sure rdp is turned on
4 join "CDS.local" domain
5 reboot

Is this task retarded or possible.. Any help including bits and pieces would help.. Thanks

Nic

You already have your rename script from another post though I would suggest you do that with a list of computers in Excel rather than an input box. Refer to my FAQ faq329-4871 for more info on how to do that.

Use the NETDOM resource kit utility which is easily scripted to join to the domain. From there you can add your admin ID using GPO and Restricted Groups. You can also turn on RDP via GPO.



I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark
