Rejoing DC after server crash

Hello!

I'm looking for a way to rejoin all the computers on a domain to the domain
controller after having formatted and restored the server. It's a single
server domain so no BDC available.

I usually go to each workstation and disconnect them from the domain and
join them to a workgroup and then reconnect them to the domain. But this is
tedious, especially when there's a couple dozen to do.

Question is: Is there an easier way?

TIA

You can use the NET COMPUTER command from commandline.
The syntax is: NET COMPUTER \\computername /ADD

Try...

[UserO:user] [/PasswordO:[password | *]]

NETDOM RESET Resets the secure connection between a workstation and a
domain
controller

machine is the name of the computer to be have the secure connection
reset

/Domain Specifies the domain with which to establish the
secure
connection

/Server Name of a specific domain controller that should be
used to
establish the secure connection.

/UserO User account used to make the connection with the
machine to
be reset

/PasswordO Password of the user account specified By /UserO. A *
