Question

script to join a domain and passing arguments within the script

Asked by: resolver1

I've attached the script I'm using to join a domain but I want to integrate this with another script I'm developing.   The problem is the script below has arguments that are passed to it when running it from the command prompt (outside of the vbs file).  I want to be able to pass the arguments from within the script.  Any ideas? I will only be using the script to join a domain.
