MDT Task Sequence

Question

In my task sequence I customized the CustomSettings.ini with many lines, but I am missing 1 thing to start the TS automatically.
Under Join a domain the User Name:, Password: are filled in, but the Domain: not..

Below Domain:
* Missing join credentials

Can someone tell me what line do I have to place inside CustomSettings.ini?

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Microsoft MECM Q&A forum.

To automate your domain joins, there are five variables you’ll need to set in your customsettings.ini file: JoinDomain, DomainAdmin, DomainAdminDomain, MachineObjectOU and DomainAdminPassword.

JoinDomain=The domain that the target computer joins after the target operating system is deployed
DomainAdmin=The user account credentials used to join the target computer to the domain specified in JoinDomain; specify as domain\user_name or user_name@keyman .com.
DomainAdminDomain=The domain in which the user’s credentials specified in DomainAdmin reside
MachineObjectOU=The AD DS OU in the target domain in which the computer account for the target computer is created
DomainAdminPassword=The password used for the domain Admin account specified in the DomainAdmin property to join the computer to the domain

For more information, please refer to: Joining the Domain with MDT
