SCCM Task Sequence Wont Join Domain When Image Created With Audit Mode

[Fazza]

We have quite a few pieces of software installed on our student computers, 2 of which are quite large (namely Visual Studio Community Edition and Adobe Creative Cloud). It's quicker to have them as part of a 'Golden Image' rather than part of a task sequence else computers have to download 60GB of files and when you've got 32 computers in a computer suites that adds an insurmountable amount of time to the imaging process.

 

The problem I'm having is if I Install the Adoce CC software that we use and try to capture an image using the SCCM Capture Media it fails with a general error message.

 

So, for the first time ever I've been using Audit Mode by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F3 during the OOBE of Windows 11 on my reference machine (Hyper-V VM) and when I was done I generalised the image using the sysprep tool I used a DISM command to create the .wim file which was successfully created!

 

When I add the new .wim to my task seqence in Configuration Manager it applies the image OK and everything in the task sequence works except, it doesnt put it on the domain! If I change the .wim to a previous one then it does go on the domain OK proving it's something to do with the .wim I've created using Windows Audit Mode.

 

Is there something I need to do in Windows Audit Mode to allow it to be connected to a domain during the task sequence?
