Hello,
I and my colleague have been at this for a couple days and read several other posts regarding this issue but have not had any luck so far. No matter what we try, we cannot get hosts to automatically change hostnames and join our domain. I have followed all the instructions on how to do this several times without success.
After a first boot after deployment, our unattend.xml file does its tasks and, after a reboot, I can see the FOG client is running and is set to auto-run but subsequent reboots make no difference; the host name remains unchanged and the machine is not added to the domain. The desired hostname and MAC address are in the host list and “Join Domain after deploy” and “Name Change/AD Join Forced Reboot” are both enabled for the host. We’ve also confirmed that the AD info is correct.
I’ve attached a log file from our latest test.
Full disclosure: we are inheriting this system from someone who left our organization so we are still trying to get up to speed with FOG as quickly as we can.
One question we have (which may or may not matter) is: Should the computer object already exist in AD or should we delete it if it’s already there. We are re-imaging machines. We’ve also tried this both ways with no luck.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
