Joining Windows 7 sysprep'd Image to Domain Fails Everytime
-
[QUOTE]Try joining it to the domain leaving the container empty. Just as a test. That will tell you if the join operation is working and you’re just having a problem with the container syntax.[/QUOTE]
Just to clarify, I should join like I was but leave the Organizational Unit container empty?
Using Windows Server 2008 R2 if that makes a difference.
-
Correct. Join but with no OU option set. I join to Windows Server 2008 R2 without issue, but I have only ever joined to the default computers container.
-
I just several more times even with the non-sysprep’d image.
In the non-sysprep’d one I get an error in the c:\fog.log
[CODE]Hostnamechanger Domain Error! (‘Unknown Error’ Code: 2202)[/CODE]I’ve tried googling the error code but found nothing. Any idea?
-
that error code is returned from AD. so google it as a domain join error not a fog hostnamechanger error.
Are you still using “administrator” or did you create a new user and delegate rights?
-
Still a no-go.
I created another account and delegated rights to let it join computers to the domain.No messages in fog.log this time shrugs
I’ve only been learning AD for a month now, so my problem could very well be my AD management and how it’s setup.
See: [url]http://i.imgur.com/9TBCB.png[/url]About to have to drop playing with FOG for a while before I go insane and since it’s taking up so much time with me trying to figure out how to auto-join our domain.
Maybe I’ll get a working unattend.xml file to auto-join by next week and just do things like that. Sorry for ranting…
-
I don’t see anything wrong with your layout. The error 2202 may mean you are using an invalid user name when trying to join the computer to the domain.
Try setting the user in the form: domain\username, where domain is the netbios name of the domain, which would be “school” if your domain name is “school.local”

Maybe I’m not entering the correct info in the Organization Unit field in FOG management WebUI
It should go under HighSchool>Students - bah, I need to learn AD. period.

Thanks!

I would try to get it working to the default computers container first (no OU settings in FOG). Did you try my suggestion above about using domain\username instead of just username?
-
It worked! What the crap?

I guess I was over-complicating the process afterall - as usual.
Thanks for bearing with me man. I swear I thought I tried it like that (maybe it was with the non-sysprep’d image tho). I appreciate all your help!

I’m doing this and not getting a domain join. Any suggestions?
