WDS creating computers in AD

[ste78564]

Does anyone know the reason why wds could be adding computers to AD?

 

Seems to have created DomainAdmins1, DomainAdmins2 and so on.

 

Currently testing an upload image to see if it creates another computer after disabling the currently created accounts...

 

Also going to try downaload an image to try find out what is creating these computers

 

Many Thanks

there is a tick box under the WDS settings to disable domain join on as part of the image process.

the machine names are generated by a variable in these options so it could be set to %Domainadmins% and it adds the extra number when querying if the machine exists.

i want the machines to join the domain though with the name i enter in the computer name box which it does.

 

Im not sure at what stage its adding the DomainAdmins accounts on the upload or the download process.

would be adding it on the image apply process when imaging if i remember correctly.

it does depend on what settings you have set in your unattend.xml answer file
