Bulk SQL Server 2000 Registration

Hi All,
I have about 60 or so SQL Servers to register. I don't have the option of
importing from another machine.
I think I maybe able to do this via SQL-DMO but not sure how to get started.
Does anyone have any ideas about doing mass SQl Server registrations?
Thanks.Check out:

Haven't tried it but you might also be able to create a query and loop for
sp_addserver via QA or OSQL.

I got the script to create the Server Groups in EM but it keeps crashing
with a memory error when I try to add the RegisteredServer object to the
RegisteredServers collection. In other words, I am unable to start
registering servers.
I have included the vbscript below:
' Declare variables
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2
Dim dmoApp, dmoServerGroup, dmoRegServer
Dim fso, MyFile, strServerName
on error resume Next
' Create a ref to the SQL Server Object
Set dmoApp = Wscript.CreateObject("SQLDMO.Application")
' Create a ServerGroup Object
' Set dmoServerGroup = CreateObject("SQLDMO.ServerGroup")
Set dmoServerGroup = Wscript.CreateObject("SQLDMO.ServerGroup")
' Add the CRAWLEY Server Group name
dmoServerGroup.Name = "CRAWLEY"
dmoApp.ServerGroups.Add(dmoServerGroup)
' Add the TAMPA Server Group name
dmoServerGroup.Name = "TAMPA"
dmoApp.ServerGroups.Add(dmoServerGroup)
' Register the TAMPA Servers
Set dmoRegServer = Wscript.CreateObject("SQLDMO.RegisteredServer")
dmoRegServer.UseTrustedConnection = 1
Set fso = Wscript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile("C:\RWray\VBScripts\TampaServers.txt",
ForReading, True)
Do Until MyFile.AtEndOfStream
strServerName = MyFile.Readline
dmoRegServer.Name = strServerName
Wscript.Echo strServerName
dmoServerGroup.RegisteredServers.Add(dmoRegServer)
WScript.Echo Err.Description
Loop
MyFile.Close
Set dmoApp = Nothing
Set dmoServerGroup = Nothing
set dmoRegServer = Nothing
It crashes on the line
dmoServerGroup.RegisteredServers.Add(dmoRegServer).
Thanks.
