Need to know if this is possible

[sxekjb]

I need to rename quite a lot of machines over the domain. Right now I'm doing this using the netdom command

Code: Select all

netdom renamecomputer mycomputer /newname:new_name /ud:domain\user /pd:password

-I'm having to go through this step every time. I'm wondering if there's a way to create a batch that will automatically fill in the old and new computer name possibly from a list, and if possible maybe perform the same task for an entire list of machines over the network.

Thank you

Figured it out.

Created notepad list of names with the old name as token=1 and new as token=2

Then:

Code: Select all

FOR /f "tokens=1,2 delims= " %%G IN (names.txt) DO netdom renamecomputer %%G /newname:%%H /userD:domain\username /passwordD:password /userO:domain\username /passwordO:password
