Well, you have a different definition of cross-posting than I do.

IMHO there is nothing wrong with cross-posting when done
in moderation. And yes, you did realise that the OP was
multi-posting - you made specific reference to his post
in the VB Script newsgroup.

Multi-posting=starting several independent threads (bad)
Cross-posting=having several newsgroup names in the address field (OK)

Since when was cross-posting good? lol, everyone I've heard has complained about it ... I didn't realize he multi-posted though. Oops :)

Cross-posting is not looked well upon, Dave. I am attempting to answer
your question in the VBscript newsgroup.

**Please don't take other's criticisms the wrong way**, but posting in
multiple places is really a good way to not get your question
answered. -Avoiding- cross-posting is a win-win situation for both
you and the people that are trying to help you.
Psst....crossposting=good. Multiposting=bad. :)
Thanks for understanding.

I've been searching diligently for a way to rename a win2000 pc
which is not part of my domain for a week so far but to no avail. I
work for GM and we have several area pc's which are not part of the
domain as per EDS/GM guidelines. I am trying to create a way
without using a domain to create a script which will setup all of
our computer specific settings, such as Shares, Workgroup Name, IP
address, Default Gateway, Subnet Mask, Process Specific Backup
Restore, Scheduled Tasks, etc., etc. The only piece of this puzzle I can't solve is the computer
name. WinXP I know you can use Win32_ComputerSystem.Rename, and
Win2000 Domain PC you can use NETDOM, but I can find nothing for
Win2000 Workgroup PC. Thanks In Advance,
Dave Marden
