computers failed join domain during MDT PXE boot

Question

I'm running MDT 8456 and using a task sequence to image my computers.he OS is installed on the computers, but the post domain join task failed. The Custom Settings rules are set as below:

DomainAdmin=<domian admin user>

DomainAdminDomain=<my domain>

DomainAdminPassword=<the password for the DomainAdmin user>

JoinDomain=<my domain>

How can I make the computers join the domain during MDT PXE boot?

Hi,

I hope you are doing well.

1,Please help check the smsts.log and NetSetup.log to see if there is any further information.

2,In the Official Document of the MDT, the reference is below:

JoinDomain=contoso.com

DomainAdmin=CONTOSO\MDT_JD

DomainAdminPassword=pass@word1

MachineObjectOU=OU=Workstations,OU=Computers,OU=Contoso,DC=contoso,DC=com

It seems that there is no such DomainAdminDomain attribute. Please edit the Custom Settings rule as the Official Document and reimage the devices. Then we could confirm whether it is helpful.

Configure the rules in MDT

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do feel free to contact me.

Best regards,

Simon
