Comment: Hello, Does anyone know how to easily add a domain user account or group to multiple local computer accounts without having to actually add it to each individual computer? I thought there was a way to do it in group policy but i have not been able to find where. This is a Windows 2000 domain with all win2000 computers. Thanks

Reply: (edit)I think???. Active Directory needs to be installed for this. you need the server client architecture for that. e.g the domain controller and the clients. To do this click start - run type dcpromo. Then add the COMPUTERS and USERS to the domain. Start - Programs - AdminTools - computer management. Points of importance, Computers, Users and Groups. All PC's in the domain should then be able to query the DC to login.

Reply: (edit)By default the Domain Admin's group should be a member of the Administrators group on the local PC's in an AD integrated domain.

Reply: (edit)There are a few ways. Batch file, start up script, logon script. Depends who you log in as for the batch file and logon script. Those will run under the security context of the person logging in. So if that user does not have the permission to add the account, the logon script will fail. A startup script in Group Policy would certainly do the trick. A startup script is not a logon script. There is a difference. A startup script run as part of Group Policy and runs before the user logs in. The startup script could use the NET USER /ADD USER_ACCOUNT command to do this. Look up the exact syntax of the NET USER command but what you are looking to do can most certainly be done like this with group policy. Good luck.

Reply: (edit)If remember correctly you will have to do this from each machine while logged onto the network. How did you become an MCSE/MCSA and not have any idea about this
