We are currently running XP with Netware client and local
administrator. The company decides to use AD as well NDS (two DS).

We had created all the users in AD but we really don't want to visit
all workstations one by one to join the domain.

Are there any tools outthere that capable to automatically join those
XP workstations to the domain? The best would be copying local
administrator profile to default profile so once they login to AD, the
new profile will copied from default profile (administrator profile).
User would not know the difference.

Thanks

netdom.exe

The netdom.exe does help to add the computer to AD. Thank you.

Anyone know how to automated the process to copy local administrator
profile to default profile without visiting every PC?
