I'm a low hours server helper pilot here so I don't know just what I'm asking. Is this a huge question?
We have 100 2k boxes on the floor that will change domains and machine names in mid October. The IS guy wants me to address each individual machine with mouse in hand. I'm not really all that enthusiastic about the approach. I want to script it if I can. As much as I can. Maybe there's even a free tool. They are not going to spend a dime. Here's my plan so far. I've got Roth's "Windows NT" in my hand and, modules aside, consider myself an intermediate Perl programmer. I really am a server newbee. This is what I plan. First join a work group. Then rejoin an msdomain - the new one. After that, rename the computer. The shares that now fail I'd locate and point to the proper new share points. I assume here that these shares should be collected and recorded before all this msdomain change business. I can't see any reason this couldn't be scripted - but what do I know. There's a reboot or two in here and I have no clue as to how to capture the system when it comes back up. I'm not asking for anyone to write this, but some clues on what to do would be helpful. Thanks If this is way out of line then we could spare the list. Mail me. Thanks again. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
