Me too. I have taken snapshots of the reg keys/values that are created, but it seems to be more of a dynamic process on a workstation to workstation basis.

I have about 1500 I need to install it on that have been in a Novell only world that is going AD and need to find a way to automate this.

Here is the answer:
Go to

and download the tool linked at the top: Snetcfg.exe

Use this syntax below:
Snetcfg.exe -v -l %windir%\inf\netserv.inf -c s -i MS_Server

I am using Novell Zenworks 3.2 to launch this on the desktop silently. It is nice since it doesn't require a reboot to have the service start. It fires up as soon as this runs.
