Right, that does mean it will only work (interactively) on stations with
netdom installed though.
I find the lack of an OU field in the GUI very odd, when you think Win2k
was designed to work with AD. Even more strange is that (apparently) XP
does not have this facility either.

This sounds good. At present I have a domain admin account but strangely
if I unjoin a workstation it refuses to delete the computer account in
AD. If I go to "Active Directory Users and Computers" on the Admin
station it lets me delete it without a problem.
