Perhaps PSEXEC and powershell, such as: remove-computer -domain olddomain -credential olddomain\userid -OUPath "OU=workstations,ou=us,DC=olddomain,DC=com"; restart-computer wait for machine to respond to pings add-computer -domain newdomain -credential newdomain\userid -OUPath "OU=workstations,ou=us,DC=newdomain,DC=com"; restart-computer I doubt that the add-computer command will do the move by itself, but it's worth a try...
