WDS Unattended - Fails to join the domain


Recommended Posts

Posted

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

 



   
       
           
               OnError
               
                   
                       
                           1
                           Primary
                           true
                       
                   
                   
                       
                           true
                           NTFS
                           WinXP
                           C
                           1
                           1
                       
                   
                   0
                   true
               
           
           
               
                   
                       HABSBOYS
                       administrator
                       adminpassword
                   
               
               
                   OnError
                   
                       Windows XP with Service Pack 2
                       Windows XP
                       Windows XP with SP2.wim
                   
                   
                       0
                       1
                   
               
           
       
   

 

I then have a sysprep.inf in \RemoteInstall\Images\ImageGroup\$OEM$\

 

This contains...

 

;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

 

With this setup the machine will build fine without user interaction, but when it's finished it wont have joined the domain.

 

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?
