In my RIS setup for a particular machine, it's not joining the domain.
setuperr.log states that an attempt to join the domain did occur, and
failed. Everything else in the installation goes as planned.

Here's my ristndrd.sif file. Can someone tell me why it's not working?

Where are your credentials such as DomainAdmin and DomainAdminPassword
under [Identification]?

BTW, do you realize you just posted your Windows XP product key to the
Internet for everyone to see?

Oh crap. I missed that.

In RIS you don't need to provide these detailds because the account is
created as a managed account during the OSChooser mode.

You say it is only not working for one type of PC? Is that right?
Typically failure to join the domain can be caused by:
Network drivers failing to load correctly
Failure to get an address from DHCP (not typical with RIS)
Incorrect DNS servers given out by DHCP
Windows Firewall on server or client is turned on.

Yes. Although I've started a new attempt with a different PC of a
different model, and I'm getting the same problem.

I don't think so. Everything seems to be working right in every stage,
including RIS, text-mode setup, and post-setup.

No, it's definitely getting an address.

> Incorrect DNS servers given out by DHCP

The machines in question have addresses reserved in DHCP, and these are
the addreses they're getting. Their DNS records are also set up prior to
installation, and the machines are being reinstalled with the original
name.

Not the case for the server (and I can join machines to the domain just
fine manually). The answer file specifies that the firewall be turned
off.

So after the Domain join fails, you are saying that you can log in and join
the domain manually?

Sounds like DNS/DNS Suffic Search Order/Routing related in some ways... But
not in others.
