Hello.

I am attempting to rename a bulk of XP workstations, that are currently part
of an NT domain. When I run the following command:

NetDom renamecomputer MyComputer /newname:MyNewComputerName
/userd:Domain\UserName /passwordd:* /usero:MyDomain\UserName
/passwordo:mypassword /reboot /force

The machine name changes on the WS, and in NT, however the WS does not
reboot. It states "The command completed successfully but the machine was
not restarted. I need to manually restart the WS for the new name to take
effect.

Any idea's to make it reboot automatically.

Thanks.
