Where is the script to convert domain computers to sbs computers?

I have a client that had a pre-existing domain that they added a SBS server
to. The previous tech guy totally messed up the SBS box so I wiped it and
reloaded it after saving all of the domain info (migration stuff).

I know when you run the connect computer wizard for a new desktop machine
that it does a lot of stuff in the background. A number of years ago I was at
a AMD/Microsoft show and a MS SBS guy said that there was a script that you
could run on computers already a part of the domain that would replicate what
the connect computer wizard does without having to remove the PC from the
domain and then re-adding it.

Does anyone know where to find this or what I'm referring to?

Thankx, David.

I'm not sure if this is what you're after or not, but you can go to the SBS
Server Mgmt. Console, Client Computers tab. Run the wizard called "Assign
Applications to Client Computers, paying attention to what options you
select/deselect (including those in Advanced). This will deploy apps and
settings to existing client PCs in the same way that the add computer wizard
and /connectcomputer do. Remember that the apps and settings won't deploy
unless the user who next logs into the client PC has local admin rights.
