Yes, computer accounts can now be added to or removed from a group in Active Directory using the command line interface for Directory and Resource Administrator. The above functionality was introduced with the release of Hotfix 1 for DRA 6.02 SP1 and is included in all subsequent releases.

Navigate to the directory to which DRA was installed.

To add computer accounts to a Windows 2000 group, use the following syntax:

EA [/DOMAIN:domainname] [/SERVER:servername] GROUP [domainname\]group MEMBERADD [domainname\]computername$

To remove computer accounts to a Windows 2000 group, use the following syntax:

EA [/DOMAIN:domainname] [/SERVER:servername] GROUP [domainname\]group MEMBEREMOVE [domainname\]computername$

NOTE: It is necessary to append a $ immediately following the computer name in the above syntax for the command to function properly.
