_techie_ Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Hi all, we have been playing around with Windows 7 and unattended installs. With much research and reading we are 99% there! We have managed to get WinPE to be totally unattended, apart from being able to select a particular image from a list (I like this option, since it will allow us to choose wim's containing 'difficult' to deploy software (e.g. Prodesktop 8!). We have also managed to automate most of the oobe part of installation with Windows 7, however, we have stumbled across a problem with automating the domain join. We CAN get the ImageUnattend.xml file to auto add the machine to the domain, but we would also like the ability to choose the computer name, (for setting up new classrooms). I do not particularly want to pre-stage the accounts in AD. The machine completes the automated oobe, then when it reboots, looks to have joined the domain. When we try to logon, we get a confusing error message: I think this is due to the timing of naming the computer (which 'I think' occurs after the unattended domain join). The domain join puts an account in AD, after which we type in the computer name which is different to the record in AD, which is causing the problem. Is it possible to setup the computer name during WinPE, or before doing the domain join? Thanks

I do not particularly want to pre-stage the accounts in AD. You cannot get it to prompt *and* join this way. The domain join happens before oobe and will occur with a random name. Once this is changed by oobe the trust relationship is broken. Microsoft know, they don't care as it's "by design" and was introduced with Vista. I prestaged all our Vista machines just to get around it. Windows 7 may have some additional possiblities with the offline join.
jsnetman Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) You can if you use MySysprep which is a rewrite of sysprep, something that microsoft could'nt do or did'nt want to do. http://tsaysoft.com/mysysprep2/ I am rolling out my win 7 machines with this and it asks for computer name like it did in XP sysprep.

Hmm, I tried mysysprep2. It didn't work, prompted for the name but never set it.
sparkeh Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I do not particularly want to pre-stage the accounts in AD. Can I ask why not as this seems to solve your problem?
jsnetman Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Hmm, I tried mysysprep2. It didn't work, prompted for the name but never set it Ok I will post my imageunattend below, if the prompt for machine is in the wrong place it fails. Also I tried Mysysprep with the unattend.xml on the c: drive and I could not get it to work but got it to work when I attached the xml file to the image in WDS.

With much research and reading we are 99% there! \u00a0 \nWe have managed to get WinPE to be totally unattended, apart from being able to select a particular image from a list (I like this option, since it will allow us to choose wim\u0027s containing \u0027difficult\u0027 to deploy software (e.g. Prodesktop 8!). \u00a0 \nWe have also managed to automate most of the oobe part of installation with Windows 7, however, we have stumbled across a problem with automating the domain join. \u00a0 \nWe CAN get the ImageUnattend.xml file to auto add the machine to the domain, but we would also like the ability to choose the computer name, (for setting up new classrooms). I do not particularly want to pre-stage the accounts in AD. \u00a0 \nThe machine completes the automated oobe, then when it reboots, looks to have joined the domain. \u00a0 \nWhen we try to logon, we get a confusing error message: \u00a0 \u00a0 \nI think this is due to the timing of naming the computer (which \u0027I think\u0027 occurs after the unattended domain join). The domain join puts an account in AD, after which we type in the computer name which is different to the record in AD, which is causing the problem. Is it possible to setup the computer name during WinPE, or before doing the domain join? \u00a0 \nThanks ", "dateCreated": "2010-02-23T20:40:53+0000", "datePublished": "2010-02-23T20:40:53+0000", "dateModified": "2010-02-24T11:29:30+0000", "image": "https://www.edugeek.net/applications/core/interface/email/default_photo.png", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "_techie_", "image": "https://www.edugeek.net/applications/core/interface/email/default_photo.png", "url": "https://www.edugeek.net/profile/10310-_techie_/" }, "interactionStatistic": [ { "@type": "InteractionCounter", "interactionType": "http://schema.org/ViewAction", "userInteractionCount": 33316 }, { "@type": "InteractionCounter", "interactionType": "http://schema.org/CommentAction", "userInteractionCount": 10 }, { "@type": "InteractionCounter", "interactionType": "http://schema.org/FollowAction", "userInteractionCount": 4 } ], "@context": "http://schema.org", "@type": "DiscussionForumPosting", "@id": "https://www.edugeek.net/forums/topic/47736-domain-join-problem-with-imageunattendxml-file-for-image/", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://www.edugeek.net/#website" }, "publisher": { "@id": "https://www.edugeek.net/#organization", "member": { "@type": "Person", "name": "_techie_", "image": "https://www.edugeek.net/applications/core/interface/email/default_photo.png", "url": "https://www.edugeek.net/profile/10310-_techie_/" } }, "url": "https://www.edugeek.net/forums/topic/47736-domain-join-problem-with-imageunattendxml-file-for-image/", "discussionUrl": "https://www.edugeek.net/forums/topic/47736-domain-join-problem-with-imageunattendxml-file-for-image/", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://www.edugeek.net/forums/topic/47736-domain-join-problem-with-imageunattendxml-file-for-image/" }, "pageStart": 1, "pageEnd": 1, "comment": [ { "@type": "Comment", "@id": "https://www.edugeek.net/forums/topic/47736-domain-join-problem-with-imageunattendxml-file-for-image/#comment-455655", "url": "https://www.edugeek.net/forums/topic/47736-domain-join-problem-with-imageunattendxml-file-for-image/#comment-455655", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "DMcCoy", "image": "https://www.edugeek.net/uploads/monthly_2025_03/331_1003649722435d28ee94eda.thumb.jpg.a726ea75215ec35939af1603b8843637.jpg", "url": "https://www.edugeek.net/profile/327-dmccoy/" }, "dateCreated": "2010-02-23T22:49:41+0000", "text": "You cannot get it to prompt *and* join this way.
