Powershell Join Domain Without Restart

When you join a computer to the domain it will by default go the computers folder.

Powershell join domain without restart. It is best practice to move the computers from the default folder to a different ou. Hi all i have a task to join a bunch of computers to the domain reboot and add a couple of security groups to them. The add computer cmdlet used to add the local or remote computer to a domain.

I did try to leave the pc in the domain sysprep it burn the image and load the image on the client machine. It also can be used to add to a workgroup or to move it from one domain to another. If it was a server that took a while to boot the process could take so long.

What i want to do is to have the script rename the pc and join the domain in one session. Then the script fires up again and it use netdom to join the domain then reboot. Instead of rebooting in between naming and joining domain.

If you use the rename computer cmdlet to rename the computer but do not restart the computer to make the change effective you can use this parameter to join the computer to a domain with its new name. Test computersecurechannel repair credential get credential when the above command is executed it will prompt for username and password and enter the domain credentials and result should show as true then the machine is re added to domain. The machine account must be added to the allowed list for password replication policy and the account password must be replicated to the read only domain controller prior to the join operation.

Test computersecurechannel repair credential get credential it prompts for username password it should be domain and should have ad rights. This involved two reboots one to leave one to join. Run this command to join a computer to the domain and specify the ou path.

There are three methods to rejoin the computer to domain without restart method 1. I d like to do this from one script and have the script reboot the machine then carry out the additional security group task. Also it creates a domain account if the computer is added to the domain without an account.
