I'm having issues with the netdom join /OU: parameter. There are no
examples and I have read RFC 1779 and still can't get it right. Can someone
give me an example using say mydom.com OU=HQ, OU=Workstations to join a
machine into the mydom.com and place the computer account into the
Workstations OU?

Thanks,
Brad

Hi

You might want to check your version of netdom ... there's been a few :)

I'm not sure if I'm mis-reading your question, but you need to use the full
path to the OU in addition to the /d switch, i.e.
/OU:OU=HQ, OU=Workstations,DC=mydom,DC=com
