amarquis

Anyone? What could cause the machine not to join the domain? Thanks

Hi, First, let me just say that I am very new to RIS and unattended setup. I found already a lot of information on this forum and I was able to solve a bunch of issues but I am now stuck at some point. What I would like to achieve is a fully unattended setup. I do not want to be prompted for anything. Now my problem is: I want no account to be created on my machine, except the local Administrator account, and would like the machines to auto-logon using that account and be part of my domain. Everything looks fine, except that the machine is still in WORKGROUP. But the computer object is created in my ADU&C. Here is my modified sif file (I am using just the flat WinXP image). ;SetupMgrTag [data] floppyless="1" msdosinitiated="1" OriSrc="\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%" OriTyp="4" LocalSourceOnCD=1 DisableAdminAccountOnDomainJoin=1 AutoPartition=1 UnattendedInstall="Yes" [SetupData] OsLoadOptions="/noguiboot /fastdetect" SetupSourceDevice="\Device\LanmanRedirector\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%" [Unattended] OemPreinstall=Yes FileSystem=LeaveAlone ExtendOEMPartition=0 TargetPath=\WINDOWS OemSkipEula=Yes InstallFilesPath=\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE% LegacyNIC=1 UnattendMode=FullUnattended NtUpgrade=No OverwriteOemFilesOnUpgrade=No UnattendSwitch=Yes [UserData] ProductKey=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX FullName="XXX" OrgName="XXX" ComputerName=%MACHINENAME% [GuiUnattended] OemSkipWelcome=1 OemSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=110 AdminPassword=[here is encrypted password] AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 EncryptedAdminPassword=Yes [Display] BitsPerPel=16 XResolution=800 YResolution=600 VRefresh=60 [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes ProcessPageSections=Yes [Identification] JoinDomain=%MACHINEDOMAIN% DoOldStyleDomainJoin=Yes [RemoteInstall] Repartition=Yes UseWholeDisk=Yes [OSChooser] Description="Windows Professional - full XXX unattended Installation" Help="This will install Windows Professional in XXX configuration."
