There is one simple solution, but unfortunatly, it won't work with laptops You can remove your unattend.txt from CD and put it on a floppy. Make folppies for each tehnician with his own domain user account. Second thing, they don't need to be domain admins to add computers to domain. Domain account operators have sufficient rights. Ordinary user can also add a workstation to domain, but number od adding is limited to, I think, 10 times. Back in NT 4 days, there was command line utility called netdom. For win 2K, check this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266651/EN-US For win xp, check http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;838079 Netdom comes with service pack 2 support tools. I hope I helped. Sorry for my English!
