The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Add computer to domain with batch file

Asked by stamperb in Miscellaneous Programming, Windows Batch Scripting

Tags: domain, computer, batch, file, add

I am building PC's from a ghost image, so when they first boot up, they have the same computer name, are on dhcp, and are not part of the domain.  I have figured out how to change the computer name and the ipaddress(thanks to people here), but how do I connect the pc to the domain.  This is my batch file so far:
 set /p YourIP=What is your IP address?
echo YourIP=%YourIP%



netsh interface ip set address local static %YourIP% 255.255.240.0 192.168.2.254 1

netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.19
netsh interface ip add dns "Local Area Connection" 192.168.0.25
netsh interface ip set wins "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.2
netsh interface ip add Wins "Local Area Connection" 192.168.0.6

Set /P Name="Enter the new computer name: "

:// Now, make the changes to the registry:
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName" /v ComputerName /t REG_SZ /d %Name% /f
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Tcpip\Parameters" /v "NV Hostname" /t REG_SZ /d %Name% /f
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName" /v ComputerName /t REG_SZ /d %Name% /f
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters" /v "NV Hostname" /t REG_SZ /d %Name% /f

after it changes the name you are supposed to reboot.  Can you change the computername and add to the domain w/o restarting?  If I use this, and then use a netdom command I get the error message that the domain cannot be found
