I haven’t even looked at powershell yet with Windows Server 2008, that is next on my list, but i wanted to make it a bit easier to do things like rename my server, join it to a domain, and remove it from a domain, without having to always type netdom join %computername% /Domain:DomainName /UserD:DomainAdmin /PasswordD:* /REBoot or netdom renamecomputer %computername% /NewName:NewName etc…
so I decided to create 3 batch files that will do this for me and prompt you for the required info needed: Username, Domain Name, Computer Name and password.
The first batch file was called rensrv.bat and funnily enough it renames the server
the second is called joindomin.bat and, yes you guessed it it does exactly what it says on the “tin” it joins the domain
and the third is to remove the account from the domain removedomain.bat
the next step is to add these into a selection list I think so that I can run just one batch file and have a choice of what to do
