Hi everyone, I have been trying with no success; to join a domain using netdom after having run sysprep and changed the pc name using compname.exe as mentioned here in the forums. The syntax I am using is: netdom join %computername% /domain: /userd: /passwordd: /reboot:5 I have tried this from the GuiRunOnce section of sysprep and also from a *.bat file called from Runonce, but all i get is a fleeting cmd prompt window. I have read that this might happen because "Windows Services" aren't started. Would anybody have any ideas as to where i am going wrong? Thanks in advance, Nick
