Here are some additional tips for adding computer accounts to Active Directory and joining computers to a domain:

* When creating computer accounts in Active Directory, be sure to use a naming convention that is consistent with your organization's naming conventions.

* When adding computer accounts to an OU, be sure to add them to the correct OU. The OU that you add the computer accounts to will determine what permissions the computers have.

* When joining computers to a domain, be sure to use the domain administrator account credentials. The domain administrator account is the only account that can join computers to a domain.

* After joining computers to a domain, be sure to configure them with the appropriate software and settings. This may include installing software, configuring group policies, and creating user accounts.
