Ghost Solution Suite

I am having an issue with GSS Sysprep. I've added my sysprep.inf to the Sysprep Configurations in GSS. Everything works except it doesn't join or AD domain.

In my sysprep.inf, I've added

JoinDomain=AD
DomainAdmin=******
DomainAdminPassword=******

In this file the passwords are correct and work if I run sysprep separately, but don't seem to have an effect.

Any ideas?

Hi Bill,

What GSS version do you use? I'd guess you've used console task to push an image? If so, how do you set up the task and what steps does it include? Please post your task's detail in here. If you use GSS 2.0, you can get all steps that the task has included by right click the task and choose "Task Scenario". Also after the task has been executed, can you export the task logs and post them here as well?

Regards,
Jenny

Not sure how to copy the log.....but it fails at To Target Operating System. I believe I solved that problem...caused by me NOT installing GSS client on target machine first.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jenny,

Found out the problem......of course human error......I didn't create a configuration set. Once question though, if you leave the "Apply Computer Name" field, blank, will it use the default one or will it assign something generic?

Important since we use serial #s for our computer names.

Thanks,

Bill
