Unable to join the domain using sysprep ...

[JC]

Hello,

i'm trying to deploy xp sp2 using sysprep, and i have some trouble
when i want to join the domain ... the computer doesn't do anything
(it works if i specify a workgroup instead !)

in fact i don't want to specify the name of the domain because the
image will be used in several places where the domain name is changing
....

the computer is a Compaq DC7100, all the drivers are already on the
image (and some software too)

here is a copy of my sysprep.inf file (normally the local admin
password is in clear) :

;SetupMgrTag
[Unattended]
InstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386
OemSkipEula=Yes


[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
OEMSkipRegional=0

[UserData]
ProductKey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
FullName=""
OrgName=""

[Display]
BitsPerPel=32
Xresolution=1024
YResolution=768

[SetupMgr]
DistFolder=C:\sysprep\i386
DistShare=windist

[Identification]
JoinDomain=domaine

[Networking]
InstallDefaultComponents=Yes

If anybody have a suggestion !
Thanks

JC

What happen exactly ?

[Identification]
JoinDomain=domaine

Did you try this ?

[Identification]
JoinDomain=DOMAIN
DomainAdmin=domain\account
DomainAdminPassword=password

Could you post an (interesting) extract of the windows\debug\netsetup.log
file here ?

Hello,

in fact i've resolved my problem now ...

the problem was the default configuration of the firewall which
blocked the JoinDomain function ...

thanks for your answer ...

(because i have several domains to manage, i couldn't specify a domain
administrator login : it's never the same account !)
