Golden image not connecting to domain after adding a rule to pick up computer name automatically

Question

Hi all!

Was wondering if someone can help ! I have made a golden image as a media for memory stick use on MDT 2013.

I have configured it to connect to the domain via script which worked absolutely perfectly

But the issue has come when I’m trying to make it slightly quicker and add some rules in to automatically pick the serial as part of the computer name which works ! But when the image has finished the laptop I am building doesn’t connect to the domain and just has the local account on it.

Although the name is correct and the device has actually appeared on the correct OU in AD

Why has this stopped working as soon as I simply skip task sequence (selecting the correct one) and automatically pick up the name of the device

Can someone help!

Answer 1

From my personal experience - it depends. In practice I try to leave the system off the domain as much as possible unless a software component absolutely requires it.

I tend to use a group policy automation tool like LGPO or PolicyFileEditor (PowerShell) to export/import policy files for the gold images and have as much of GP as possible live on the machine itself and disable inheritence on the View Desktop OU's.

Hope this information can help you
Best wishes
