They can be run from a .bat &nbsp;You would just do something like this<br />
<br />
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy remotesigned -File &nbsp;c:\scripts\script.ps1

Hi, <br />
I am preparing a script to rename and join a pc to the domain (specific OU) with a hta and vbs. As a second part to this I would like to auto add the PC to an AD group. However I am struggling to get information on how to add the PC to an AD group (AD group is called Computer_Policy)<br />
<br />
Does anyone know how this can be achieved? can find info on adding users but not PC's<br />
<br />
thanks

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
