Using Sample MDM Scripts

Sample scripts are located in the c:\MDMScripts directory on your NAS system. They include scripts that join systems to a

domain or workgroup, create users, verify a Microsoft QFE installation, or change user passwords. You can either run these

scripts or make them part of a job template.

NOTE:

To see an example of how each script is used, type '?' in the parameter field and then run the job. The output

shows script usage.

NOTE:

When script parameters include a password, the password must be entered for each job run. If a password is

included in a template, the password will be replaced by a '*'. The script will not run until the '*' is replaced with a

valid password.

JoinDomain.vbs

The JoinDomain.vbs script will join a specific NAS system or device set to a domain.

The parameters of the JoinDomain.vbs script to join a domain are:

-join <domainname > <username> -password <password>

Where domainname is the name of the domain, username is the name of a user on the domain, and password is the

domain user's password.
