Hello,
We are currently using DS 6.9 SP4 to build our new Windows 7 sysprepped image.
I was just wondering if anyone uses Djoin.exe for completing offline domain joins when they build their image? We've got some VBScript to do it, but it requires a reboot and is a bit messy to be honest.
I just had a quick question (and please forgive me if I'm being stupid here - this is all a bit new):
What happens if you do not know if the computer will or will not exist in Active Directory? That is, you can use the /provision command to generate the computer account metadata and then insert it into the unattend.xml file, but what if the computer already exists? The /provision command won't work and therefore your XML file will be invalid. You could use Djoin.exe without the /provision command, but then the unnatend.xml will be invalid for computers that are not already part of the domain.
I ask this in terms of re-imaging existing machines. How can we have a single XML file for both scenarios (so we don't have to check if the computer exists or not)?
Thanks for your help.
