Hi, I'm using Enteo to depoy Windows XP to our client computers. In the last weeks, we changed our network design and now I'm unable run unattended Windows XP installations. He is does not join the domain. According to this article I already edited the lmhosts.sam-file (respectively lmhosts.sa_). After that, I'm able to join the domain manually, but he still don't do this during unattended install. When I assign an IP-address from the same subnet to the client, everything is working fine. Is it possible, that during unnatedned installation of Windows XP the entrys in lmhosts are ignored. Is there any (better) way to let the client know about the domain controller? Example configuration: PDC: 10.0.90.20 (Hostname: XXS020) Client: 10.1.71.190 (DHCP) Domain: XX.com lmhosts.sam: 10.0.90.20 XXS020 #PRE #DOM:XX.com 10.0.90.20 "XX.com \0x1b" #PRE Edit: I'll attach the content of the NetSetup.log, but it just says NO_SUCH_DOMAIN (it's the 0x54b): 11/27 15:00:12 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 11/27 15:00:12 NetpValidateName:
