Hi,
We are just starting to migrate to AD.
We are using a tool to migrate computers that already exists on the NT domain.
I was wondering if there is any script that will add computers to an active directory...
The OU that the computers will be in is called WORKSTATIONS.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You guess wrong. There are several scripts posted that do just that. Try the board search.

If all you need to do is move your computer accounts to a single OU after the migration, you may just want to consider moving them manually after the migration. It's a couple of clicks, and you're done.

Have you read up on the ADMT (Active Directory Migration Tool)? It's part of the Windows Server CD support tools.

Do you want to ADD computer accounts to AD or move current computers from NT4 or another AD to a different AD ?

Thank you all for your help.
I need to add the computer to the AD domain from start.
We build the PC with Ghost, and then run scripts to add to NT domain currently. I need to change this to AD domain.
Any help you can provide will make my job sooooo much easier.
Everyone`s help is appreciated.

Well for that I really think NETDOM would be your best bet.
You can script a call to it and then feed it the required information.

These are for 2000/XP machines correct?

Please take a look here for an OLD example of using NETDOM, I would update the code as it is not 100% solid, but would give you an idea of how to do it.

Take a look here for potential tools needed and where to download them.
