Adding computers to groups

[c***@gmail.com]

Hi all

I am currently investigating how to automatically add a computer to a
security group when the computer has been added to the domain. Has
anyone found a solution to this problem ?

Best Regards

There are no triggers in AD that can be used to launch a process when a
computer is joined to the domain. However, the computer is automatically
added to the group "Domain Computers" (by default the "primary" group of the
object). Can you use this group? It can even be made a member of other
groups.

ILM could also do this. It is also possible to write your own polling code
that would look for new domain computers and do this, but that gets more
complex.
