Any one had any success with this?

This is what im trying to do

<component name="Microsoft-Windows-UnattendedJoin" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
			<Identification>
				<Credentials>
					<Domain>bw-wan.net</Domain>
					<Password>Password1</Password>
					<Username>vista</Username>
				</Credentials>
				<JoinDomain>bw-wan.net</JoinDomain>
			</Identification>
		</component>

I've also tried to move the .net but no joy

		</component>

Any Ideas?

Hmm, the second one (without the .net) is most similar to mine which works (I use .local and left it out of the join domain procedure).

Are you entering it in the specialize area?

i.e. <settings pass="specialize">

Also does the user account you're using to join the domain have rights to?

I assume you mean create a local account, that has access to the domain. be good if i could get an example!

Yes, to both of these.

sorted it.

you need to create a local user account, as it seams to use this account to do the domain join.

wierd!?!

I was actually meaning this domain account "Vista" whether it had the permissions to allow joining to a domain

Good you got it sorted though.

And yes, sorry I'd completely forgotten that for whatever reason you needed a local account as well (I did as a backup in case the domain joining fails) and you're locked out.

Actually I wonder you need a local because the Administrator account is disabled
