fix

By default, Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) selects the Domain Admins group for adding computers to a domain in the computer creation wizard.  Aside from this default selection, DRA does not provide a way to bypass the group or account entry in the wizard.  Native tools (ADU&C) also require entry of group or account credentials to join a computer to a domain.  However, the NetIQ Knowledge Depot contains a script which automatically sets the group for joining the computer in a Windows 2000 domain to a pre-determined, specific group. Search for the script ComputerJoin.vbs under Trigger & Policy Scripts at:
