Windows 2000 Sysprep Problem

[James Waite]

I've created a standard image for deployment. I've created a sysprep.inf and
accociated files to automatically perform the mini-setup. Everything works
as I would expect it to except the computer will not join the domain durning
the mini-setup. An error is generated, "An invalid domain was specified.
Would you like to proceed for now and try joining a domain later?"

I've tried with "NetBios over TCP/IP" enabled and disabled.
I've tried usuing the userid alone and with domain ie "userid" and
"DOMAIN\userid"
I've tried usuing new computer names and precreating account names.
I've tried usuing an LMhosts with the domain information.

As best i can tell the machine is pulling an IP address from DHCP and I can
ping the IP address.

If I reboot the machine after"...proceeding for now.." I am able to add the
computer to the domain in the Network Identification screen of My Computer.

Any Ideas?

are you specifying your dns server in your dhcp scope?

jeez, if you need to hire a consultant to get sysprep working, you may be
in a heap of trouble boy.
