Thanks for the advice TIMM. I have removed SP1 and RIS builds work fine. I
notice in the book of SP1 there is a section about modifications to the SAMR
and LSAR protocols.
When my builds run successfully without SP1 you get the following lines in
the netsetup.log: -
09/13 13:44:54 NetpJoinDomain: w9x: status of validating account: 0x0
The w9x is presumably a reference to old style domain joining. The book of
SP1 states that if the SAMR and LSAR modifications stop your code working you
will need to modify your code.
Could this mean that the Sysprep\RIS\Riprep needs patching, or is it a
problem that slipped under the testing radar?

Bruce,
My Sif file has always been %machinedomain% however I will try hardcoding it
in the SIF file to see if it resolves the problem. However is seems to be a
communication issue with the domain controllers. I downgraded the Domain
controller running RIS. The build works fine when the workstation resolves
the Pre SP1 domain controller, but fails if it resolves to the SP1 server
when it attempts to join the domain. I suspect it is additional security for
anymous connections.

[Identification]
JoinDomain=%MACHINEDOMAIN%
In your sif file possibly?
Something similar happened to me after one of my updates (maybe after
mofiying the SIF ile using the answer file wizard) and
"JoinDomain=my.domain.org" had changed to "
"JoinDomain=%MACHINEDOMAIN%"
I forgot to mention that the Setuperr.log reports the following
Error:
Netsetup:Join domain XXXXXXXX in full unattended mode failed. Setup will
proceed to add the workstation to the default domain.
However I am able to add the workstation to the damain if I login locally
and then add the workstation to the domain.

After upgrading to W2k3 sp1, XP sp2 pc's built via RIS fail to join the
the
domain even though the workstation account are being created by RIS
during
the built process. Prior to the upgrade over 300 pc's had been deployed
via
RIS and this issue is occuring on multiple servers. Rolling back SP1
does
seem to resolve the issue. Also RIS is running on domain controllers.
Any assistance or recommendations would be appreciated
