Almost anywhere is going to be too late; the workstation joins the domain during the network configuration part of Windows Setup. I believe even cmdlines.txt will not run until after Windows is done installing, so that will not help. There might some way to hack the source media to patch the registry... But a better idea is to join the domain in the post-install scripts, after the installation finishes. You just need a command-line utility to join a domain. I assume there is one out there somewhere, but since this is Windows XP you could easily roll your own in Perl using WMI. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_computersystem.asp In particular, see the JoinDomainOrWorkgroup method. The biggest problem is deciding how to obtain/store/delete the password. Another thought: Samba 3.0 was just released, and its domain support is supposedly much improved. It might obviate the need for any registry patch. - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ unattended-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-info
