@JasGot Wouldn't that require me to specify the DN of the computer object every time?
Maybe, can you show an example? Also, if you put the results of the dsquery into an environment variable, it might make it easier. Still need to see what your script needs to look like.

Hope this helps - I registered just to post this for you!

Now that's a sweet first post!
Alright. You've all inspired me to quit the "hold steady" phase and make another move downward......:)
@wrx7m said in [Any Way to Automate Adding a New Computer to an AD Group?]
Hmm. I get unrecognized command or whatever the error is when it doesn't know what it is.
Okay. Have you worked on the GPO option yet? Another option is to Create an OU and create a GPO to add computers to a specific group.
Then add a PS command to a startup/logon script to move the computer to a new OU:
Move-ADObject -Identity "CN=wrx7m-PC,OU=Sales,DC=enterprise,DC=com" -TargetPath "CN=Computers,DC=Enterprise,DC=Com
Well, just for kicks, here's the script we run. It's another possible fix to your problem.

dsmod group
Looks like this requires RSAT too.
Don't think so. At least these commands work on my workstation and server without RSAT installed.
@scottalanmiller said in Windows 7 Cannot Update:
Yup, took over two hours. But didn't change anything.
Okay. We use a Windows Update Reset Script when offline updater doesn't work.
And this will get you the full CN name:
dsquery computer domainroot -name %computername%
returns
"CN=JASON-I7,OU=Employee Computers,DC=abc,DC=local"
@scottalanmiller said in Windows 7 Cannot Update:
Ran updates for two hours.... same result.
You ran the client installer after the generator? This is usually a 4 or 5 hour process..... With several reboots.
@wrx7m My apologies, it's the dsmod command for computers against groups.
Just tested this:
I added a new group called "test" in the Employee Computers OU and then ran.
dsmod group "CN=test,OU=employee computers, DC=abc,DC=local" -addmbr "CN=jason-i7,OU=Employee Computers,DC=abc,DC=local"
dsmod succeeded:CN=test,OU=employee computers,DC=abc,DC=local
@wrx7m said in [Updated - Connecting to 1 Site With Separate Logins/Several IPs]>
This works on Windows 10 (1703, 1809, 1903), Server 2016 (1607), Server 2012 R2 and Server 2008 R2.
Tor is another option. Proxies are already out there.
Lots of guides on setting it up to run multiple browsers from different IPs. We did it years ago for a project and it was perfect. Took a few minutes to setup, but was perfect for the task.
There's even a bash script to do all the setup for you. (Not on Windows, of course)
@wrx7m We use Net and NetDom to automate most tasks like this.
We use an offline windows update installer to get past issues like this (assuming you've exhausted all other fixes and troubleshooting options). Specifically we use: http://download.wsusoffline.net/
In a script, startup/logon or otherwise.
Net localgroup <group> <domain name><computer name>$ /ADD
Localgroup does not imply the local group on the workstation, that is determined by whether you have a domain name\ in front of the computer name
@pmoncho said in Dell Hot Swap 2.5" drive in place of 3.5":
Received confirmation from Dell support rep that they only stock 2.5" drives in this size, there are no reported issues with this type of replacement and all should be well.
Well, we are going to find out later tonight when users log out.
We have used 2.5" from dell to replace a 3.5" in a failed raid many times with no issues. Like @JaredBusch said, though, double check that backup first, even though the drive came early, it's premature to drop it in.....
@kamidon said in Demo VoIP phone DSS Key programming - What do YOU do?:
Really it just depends on the type of business, people and location. If they're down to earth, well all of what you mentioned would be a great idea to put on.
This is good, all of our customer are down to earth and easy going, so I appreciate you saying this.
Definitely do a directory setup because you want to demo that feature.
Thanks for the confirmation. I was thinking this would be so easy and so impressive. Couldn't NOT do it!
@JaredBusch said in Demo VoIP phone DSS Key programming - What do YOU do?:
@JasGot This would depends entirely on how stupid the users are.
Most users cannot do anything of the sort without a lot of hand holding.
THen it gets into what are you wanting them to update. the BLF/Seeddials? Well that then also gets into the Phone vs PBX User interface.
basically the answer is I don't. I drop a phone with a user and some buttons preset. I then also instruct them how to 10 digit dial. Nothing else.
I plan to provide some programmed buttons to make their lives easier when we install the system.
I don't want them updating anything; we will do that.
I guess I could have been more clear and said "I also thought I'd let them choose some others after the phones are dropped off, to demonstrate how quick and easy it is FOR US to manage their phones."
I am looking for ideas of what might be handy to have programmed in for them to experience on the demo unit; keeping in mind it only has extension access to the other demo devices and the outside world.
