All,

We have a Win2k3 SP2 R2 domain.

We're getting small number of machines with Win7 Pro pre-installed
from a local whitebox vendor (this is a temporary condition, I
hope...)

I've run into two problems:

1) minion can't join machine to domain manually He's not a Domain
Admin, and it says he's exceeded his quota for adding machines. This
surprises me, since he doesn't have this issue with XP machines - I
long ago added him to a group that is allowed add machines to the
domain. My credentials worked.

2) I cruised the Information Super Highway and found that the PS
cmdlet rename-computer has been removed from PS. This puts a kink in
things, as we want to rename the computer and join it to the domain in
the same script.

My google-fu is failing me - I can't seem to find any links that
address these problems.

I'm not going to go down the path of crying about netdom being
removed. PowerShell is just fine by me, though the method required to
start an elevated instance is a bit annoying.

Anyone have some hints for me?

Kurt
