Hi all,

just starting with powershell and need some help with the following. After installation of windows
and autologon a window pops up to ask the new computer name and new domain name.

I startet like this:

[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.VisualBasic') $name = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox("Bitte neuen Computernamen eingeben:", "Name", "$env:username") $oComputerSystem = Get-WmiObject win32_computersystem $oComputerSystem.Rename( "$name" )

then reboot, autologon and runonce again to join the domain like

add-computer -domain dom1.test -OUPath "OU=computers,DC=dom1,DC=test" -cred $credential

Here my questions:
- whats the best way when i input the domain to save it into a variable to have it after the reboot
- how can use the credentials to automate the join domain (with a manual input during the command)
- i assume its not possible without a reboot during rename and domain joining

Anyone can help me with some code oder samples?

cheers,
Marco
