    Hi All

     I  use to work with multiple VMware and VPC images i.e. win2k,xp,windows 2003 servers all editions that also for multiple languages from French to Chinese..
    Whenever I install my agent on those machines to communicate with server I need to bring machine on specific domain or to be  precise i want to change machine name and bring it to different domain to communicate with server..
     

    Is it possible to have a program ,script or batch file  which will bring the  machine on domain automatically with random user name ? Or there is any other workaround to achieve this..

    regards

    You won't be able to join the domain using a 'random' user. But it looks like it is possible to join a domain from the command line:
