A few questions about unattended setup

[amarquis]

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).

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

What could cause the machine not to join the domain?

Thanks
