Deployment Solution

If you've ever had a domain join fail, you can understand how frustrating it can be to troubleshoot. There is a log file that will make it much easier to figure out what is wrong.

• Open the file C:\WINDOWS\Debug\NetSetup.log.
• Go to the very bottom of the file and find the last "NetpDoDomainJoin: status:"
• If it is not 0x0, then the domain join failed and the code listed instead of 0x0 is the reason it failed.
• Now, look at each previous line in the file until you come across the last line in the file that returned the same failure code as your Domain Join.
• You have found the step of the domain join that failed and the reason it failed.
