first of all, i wanna inform all that i m very poor with networking concept. So, a bit of help from experts would be great.
Well, i have Windows Server 2003 configured with Active Directory. Till now my client machine were in workgroup. Now i feel i need to switch to domain instead so that i have more control over the network. In this case, i tried with my own machine to join the domain and it worked. Here i did it manually changing my pc from workgroup to domain. But i wonder how can we manage to manually make all clients to join a domain if we have 100 of such clients. It is quite cubersome. So, i was wondering if the DC admin has some ways to force all the clients join the domain automatically without having myself to go to every machine and manually make it join the domain.
