Guest Mr. JYC Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Hello, Is there a script or something that would allow one to change the membership of a number of workstations that are in a workgroup to domain membership? I've been manually joining the domain for workstations in the past but I am finding that may not be possible for a large number of workstations. -- Thank you for your help! JYC
