Hello,

All the foundation including the necessarily servers such as dc, file,
dns,
dhcp, print etc have been installed and given their appropriate
information.
(user accounts made, dhcp scope defined, GPs created, file quotas set).
Basically everything fro the server side is completed; it's only the user
side now.

I now have the task to attach some 60+ users comprised of laptops and
desktops to the domain. All of these users have been logging on to their
local machine profile in a workgroup environment for the past 10+ years.

Now my question is, how can I attach all of these users to the domain with
the least amount of admin effort and interruptions on the user part.

Thanks,
