Script to change computer name in domain
- I'm looking for a script to change the computer name in the domain.

You can use the commandline tool NETDOM to do that. Once you understand the command parameters, it shouldn't be too tough to create a script to do multiple machines (if that's your intent).

- Hello,
is it one machine or multiple? Or is it when a machine from an image is installed and you like to rename it? If the last option you have to use sysprep to not only change the name, also some additional information like the SID and some more.
