Hi,

First, let me just say that I am very new to RIS and unattended setup. I found already a lot of information on this forum and I was able to solve a bunch of issues but I am now stuck at some point.

What I would like to achieve is a fully unattended setup. I do not want to be prompted for anything.

Now my problem is: I want no account to be created on my machine, except the local Administrator account, and would like the machines to auto-logon using that account and be part of my domain. Everything looks fine, except that the machine is still in WORKGROUP. But the computer object is created in my ADU&C.

Here is my modified sif file (I am using just the flat WinXP image).

CODE
;SetupMgrTag

    floppyless="1"
    msdosinitiated="1"
    OriSrc="\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%"

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

What could cause the machine not to join the domain?
Thanks
