Script to join workstation in specific OU

[oscarmok]

We have about 12 regional sites. Our head office is the only site
with DNS and DHCP servers. Each regional sites has its own ip address
range. Our AD is base on geographic location (for example
ou=vancouver, ou=calgary, ou=toronto, ou=halifax). In each ou, we
create an ou called 'workstations'.

I wonder is it possible during sysprep (we are deploying XP pro),
there is some sort of program that can run inside cmdline.txt and
detect what ip address range the pc currently register so it can join
the proper ou. For example, Vancouver ou is 10.10.x.x, Calgary ou is
10.11.x.x. During the sysprep, the script (program) reads off the
assign ip address and join the computer to proper ou (if it's
10.10.1.100, then the workstation will join under
workstations.vancouver.msft.ca)

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure it's possible to do something like that from within Sysprep,
but you can certainly do it from within a VBScript or JScript.

The code can be found here:

You could do it from a batch script using NETDOM..

How do I create a batch script to check for ip address range? I am
new to batch script programming.

Thanks
