Hi, I am building an application and I am stuck at a part or function of the application.
I am trying to build a C# windows application that would run as domain admin (the software should ask for domain admin credentials) and Renames a Remote computer on the domain (The computer name can be read from a textbox). I guess the computer should restart automatically after it gets renamed. Can anyone shed some lights please?
Thanks

This is how you do it with netdom: http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2009/09/17/remotely-rename-a-computer-in-a-windows-domain/[^].

To do it programmatically, you can ise WMI:
