Odd Credentials in Domain Join Log for MDT Deployment

Question

Greetings!

I have a MDT deployment setup which does NOT utilize stored credentials. The intent is for credentials to be manually entered during the Wizard and for them to be specified every time. Credentials are prompted for (as well as the OU). However, the domain join fails. While checking the ZtiDomainJoin log to identify why, I found it was trying to join the domain with credentials associated with someone who has since been separated. The user in question never had access to the imaging server, and again there are no stored credentials in the customsettings.ini associated with this user. It was baffling to not see my credentials in there, since I set up the imaging server, I did the first few images from the server, and my credentials were entered when prompted by the wizard on the computer in question.

So I'm hoping someone can help me figure out where to look for these aberrant credentials so I can get them cleared out, and actually have it use the specified credentials for the domain join. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi, @RyBo3
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

I guess this may be because you have configured the domain join information in customsettings.ini before, even you removed it now, but you are using the old boot image.
So you may try to update your deployment share to regenerate the boot image to see if it helps.
If you are using WDS, you may need to update it in your WDS server too.
