JoinDomainOrWorkGroup

[Tom Ker]

I'm using the following lifted pretty much intact with all the supporting
scripting from the TechNet web site to join a computer to our domain...

sRC = oComputer.JoinDomainOrWorkGroup("DomName.com", _
sPWD, "DomName\" & sID, NULL, _
JOIN_DOMAIN + ACCT_CREATE)

The problem I'm encountering is that it is not joining the domain all the
time. Sometimes it joins a workgroup named "DomName.com". Why would that
be happening? Is there a way to ensure it only joins the domain and not a
workgroup?

Thanks,

Tom

You'll have more success scripting NETDOM.exe into your script.

Thanks, that's what I did for Win2K and it did work well. I want to get
away from using external exe's, though. With NetDom I had to also use
SNetCFG to first add then remove Server Service so NetDom could do it's
thing since we generally don't deploy our workstations with Server Service
installed.
