Hello aout there,
where can i set up the accounts added to a new pc when the
pc is joining the domain.
By default this is the group of the domain admins.
I want to have another group added automatically.

Does this work somehow ?

Oliver,

If you a re looking to add users to a specific group to a Windows 2000+
machine in a Windows 2000 Domain you have several choices.

1) Create a system startup script on a NEW group policy that does something
like this:

net localgroup add administrators domain\user1 /add

OR If it is a group,

net localgroup add administrators domain\groupname /add

PROS:
+++++++
Does not remove users currently on the group just adds them

CONS:
+++++++
Must be scripted...
Remember to add validation and error checking


2) Use "restricted groups"

PROS:
+++++++
Easy to manage
Easy to change

CONS:
+++++++
It is a replace action and not an additive process.
