With this package, you can join or leave a domain, and in theory change the ou-path for the client within a domain (still experimental, details below). These three functions are conveniently assigned to the action requests setup (join), uninstall (unjoin), update (relocate).

This package relies on three product properties:

domain_ou

domain_ou must follows this syntax: [domain.tld][/ou_1/ou_2], both segments are independent and optional and only taken into account when joining a domain or relocating to another ou. when a client shall leave a domain, required information are gathered from operating system.

if no domain is specified, it's being extracted from host identifier. if no ou is specified, the client will be placed in the default computer ou-path for the domain. each ou needs a leading forward-slash, all have to be in the right order, beginning at the top-most level.

username
password

username must include the domain it belongs to, either like DOMAIN\username or username@domain.tld, and it has to be an account with sufficient privileges to join/unjoin clients to/from the domain(s) you want to manage.

username and password are prunned from productproperties upon every successful execution, so that they won't remain for everyone to see in cleartext. i hope an option for password-masking in productproperties will be available soon.

Setup

if a client currently is in a domain and shall join another, this script will try to unjoin from the current domain, and then joined to the new domain, with the same administrative account you provided. so you will need one account with sufficient privileges for both domains, f.e. a trusted management domain containing such administrative accounts. otherwise, you have to do both steps seperately - first unjoin, then join, with different accounts.

Uninstall

It seems that actually deleting computer accounts from a domain upon unjoin is currently not possible, so keep in mind that you need to manually delete the account if you want it to be gone, f.e. to re-use the name for another computer. I am planning to add this as an optional feature.

Update

Relocating a client to a different ou within the same domain is still giving me some headache, i am currently stuck at the part where the ADSI movehere function actually performs the relocation, it will throw an error Active Directory: not implemented (what ever that means).

If anyone can get this to work, i wouldn't mind a heads up (;
