Automated VLAN Joining

What are you using for automatically assigning a device to a specific VLAN for those of you that have a solution?

We have some specific devices that communicate over a secured VLAN and currently we have to manually configure each port when or before the device is connected to it. We are looking to have it so that when the device is connected to the switch, the port is automatically changed to the appropriate VLAN. I'm assuming this would be done with the MAC address, but am looking for suggestions.

Additionally for future casting, it would be nice to be able to do this with domain joined computers and guest devices as well. Then we could configure all ports the same and foreign devices get thrown on the internet/isolated VLAN, domain devices on the internal and other devices on their specific VLANs. I know one option might be to use RADIUS. I am working with some older switches so this is not limited to existing hardware. I'm looking for any and all solutions to vet.

Thanks
