What is the purpose of creating computer accounts on a domain (as in adding a computer's user account by using adding a new computer account while sitting at the domain controller), if you still have to go to that local computer (workstation) and join the domain anyway? Am I missing some magic way to 'Pull' a computer into a domain remotely?
