[Windows7\WDS wont Join Domain]

I assumed it would automatically place it in the computers container if this field was empty. I have updated the file and no change, still no domain Join

 

P.s Thanks for the heads up I would have missed that because of this Domain issue

[Windows7\WDS wont Join Domain]

Hi,

 

I am having issues with a Windows 7 Image joining the domain using WDS.

 

I have followed the automated join as per Microsofts instructions

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730845(v=ws.10).aspx

 

Ideally I would like the machine to join the domain automatically without presaging in AD.

 

When I run the PXE boot everything seems to run perfectly apart from the "unattended Join" which it seems to skip.

 

See my answer file below;

Any help much appreciated, fingers crossed it something simple I have missed.
