Ok, sorry for delay, here is what we use to make win7 join Samba NT4 domain (maybe it helps somebody):

after sysprep, fog automatically renames host (it’s done fairly early after sysprep, so there is little or perhaps no chance that computer will join domain with bad name), then it restarts and downloads associated snapin - I named it setup_complete_snapin - which contains 2 scripts:
[LIST=1]
[]setupcomplete.cmd
[]join_domain.ps1 (powershell script)
[/LIST]
SETUPCOMPLETE.CMD:
[CODE]
@echo off

rem delete unattend files
del /Q /F c:\windows\system32\sysprep\unattend.xml
del /Q /F c:\windows\panther\unattend.xml

rem delete dir with additional drivers (those which win didn’t install automatically - needs registry update for win to look here)
rd /S /Q c:\Drivers

rem win activation
cscript //b c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
cscript //b C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -ato

rem office 2010 activation
cscript “c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs” /act

rem registry changes
:: enable self deffense (registry protection) for NOD Endpoint Antivirus 5.0 - disabled before sysprep, because of sysprep crashes with this enabled
REG ADD “HKLM\SOFTWARE\ESET\ESET Security\CurrentVersion\Plugins\01000001\Profiles@My profile” /v selfdefense /t REG_DWORD /d 0x1 /f
:: for win7 to join Samba NT4 domain
REG ADD “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManWorkstation\Parameters” /v DomainCompatibilityMode /t REG_DWORD /d 0x1 /f
REG ADD “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManWorkstation\Parameters” /v DNSNameResolutionRequired /t REG_DWORD /d 0x0 /f
:: fixes problems with login (source: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2010-October/158591.html)
REG ADD “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters” /v DisablePasswordChange /t REG_DWORD /d 0x1 /f

rem domain join
:: didn’t work without cd
cd \windows\temp\setup_complete_snapin
powershell set-executionpolicy remotesigned
powershell .\join_domain.ps1
powershell set-executionpolicy allsigned

rem extends partition to whole disk
diskpart /s .\diskpart.txt

:: sleep a la MS Windows 🙂
::ping -n 10 1.1.1.1

rem restart
shutdown -r -f -t 120

Exit
[/CODE]
For domain join, really needed are only sections: domain join, registry changes (for win7 to join Samba NT4 domain) and perhaps restart.

JOIN_DOMAIN.PS1:
[CODE]

user and pass - pass has to be in apostrophes, quotation marks didn’t work

$User = “DOMAIN\USER”
$Pass = ConvertTo-SecureString ‘PASSWORD’ -AsPlainText -Force

create credentials

$Credentials = New-Object -TypeName System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $User,$Pass

join domain with loggin to file

#add-computer -domain DOMAIN -credential $Credentials 2>&1 > join_domain.log

join domain

add-computer -domain DOMAIN -credential $Credentials
[/CODE]

I started 1 task for whole group (around 80 clients) and it ended up with 4 (and second time with 5) tasks with the same number of udp-sender processes, logs etc. The tasks had variable number of clients (around 20 in average)…
Last time it ended in a mess - made few tasks (I think 3 or 4) and then it couldn’t find clients or what:

[CODE]

[07-02-14 1:59:50 pm] | Task (20) /images/cpunew image file found.

[07-02-14 2:00:01 pm] | Task (20) cpu has started.
[/CODE]

I don’t know what went wrong - I was testing change of multicast interface, so was changing interface, creating task, looking if it works, killing the task few times until this mess… then I just restarted server, because everything was too slow (which I observe since upgrade to 1.1.1, but I’m not sure if the problem is in FOG or my server)… strange things :)… maybe the creating and killing of tasks made a bit mess in the database or what…

BTW: is this ok? (it’s from code excerpt above):
