I've got my WDS working perfectly at the moment, it will pull down the image and kick off the install with just 2-3 button presses. The machines are Pre Staged so they should pickup the machine name on it's own.
The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to make it join the domain.
I've got the Server setup with the following Unattended.xml
I then have a sysprep.inf in \RemoteInstall\Images\ImageGroup\$OEM$\Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <DiskConfiguration> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <Disk wcm:action="add"> <CreatePartitions> <CreatePartition wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Type>Primary</Type> <Extend>true</Extend> </CreatePartition> </CreatePartitions> <ModifyPartitions> <ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"> <Active>true</Active> <Format>NTFS</Format> <Label>WinXP</Label> <Letter>C</Letter> <Order>1</Order> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </ModifyPartition> </ModifyPartitions> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk> </Disk> </DiskConfiguration> <WindowsDeploymentServices> <Login> <Credentials> <Domain>HABSBOYS</Domain> <Username>administrator</Username> <Password>adminpassword</Password> </Credentials> </Login> <ImageSelection> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> <InstallImage> <ImageName>Windows XP with Service Pack 2</ImageName> <ImageGroup>Windows XP</ImageGroup> <FileName>Windows XP with SP2.wim</FileName> </InstallImage> <InstallTo> <DiskID>0</DiskID> <PartitionID>1</PartitionID> </InstallTo> </ImageSelection> </WindowsDeploymentServices> </component> </settings> </unattend>
This contains...
With this setup the machine will build fine without user interaction, but when it's finished it wont have joined the domain.Code:;SetupMgrTag [Unattended] OemSkipEula=Yes [UserData] ProductKey=00000-00000-00000-00000-00000 FullName="ICT Support” OrgName="HABSBOYS" ComputerName=%MACHINENAME% [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="localadminpassword" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000809 UserLocale=00000809 InputLocale=0809:00000809 [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 VRefresh = 60 [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Identification] JoinDomain = %MACHINEDOMAIN% MachineObjectOU = "%MACHINEOU%" CreateComputerAccountInDomain = No DoOldStyleDomainJoin = Yes
I've tried adding the Domain Admin and Password to the [Identification] section of the sysprep.inf, but this made no difference.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
