Windows 7 unattended join domain

[croque]

Hi,

I'm configuring the unattended instalation for windows 7, but I set up the automatic join to the domain, I was able to do it for win 2003 but not for 7.

I edited the unatted.xml file with the next settings:

<Credentials>
<Domain>mydomain</Domain>
<Password>**********</Password>
<Username>************</Username>
</Credentials>
<DebugJoin>true</DebugJoin>
<JoinDomain>mydomain</JoinDomain>

I have searched at the logs and the eventvwr and I can't find any error related with joining the domain, what do I left to complete this action.

Regards

Hi,

on which kind of domain you try to join? When you try to join to a samba 3 Domain, you can't join with a windows 7 Client directly, you must modify the os before you join, please try:

http://download.uib.de/opsi4.0/products ... 1.0-2.opsi

Hi ueluekmen,

The domain is an active directory

Ok, that could be a problem from the user account that you use to join in the domain. The join over the unattend.xml don't work in any environment. Please try with the package from above and set the property for samba-dmain to false.

Thanks ueluekmen for your help.

Finaly after a lot of trouble shotting and checking the installation log files I was able to join the computer to the domain with the unattend.xml. The configuration is:

<Identification>
<Credentials>
<Domain>mydomain.com</Domain>
<Password>xxxxxxx</Password>
<Username>xxxxxxx</Username>
</Credentials>
<JoinDomain>mydomain.com</JoinDomain>
<MachineObjectOU>OU=computers,DC=mydomain,DC=com </MachineObjectOU>
<UnsecureJoin>false</UnsecureJoin>
<DebugJoin>true</DebugJoin>
</Identification>
</component>

And I had to create the computer at the AD before running the installation.

I hope this can help somebody else.

Dear worrynaa,
OPSI has nothing to do with buying and selling domains. Please look elsewhere. However,
thank you for your interest in OPSI.
