I've enabled SMBv1 and completed updates first as troubleshooting but I still get the error.
The error I get is:
Add-Computer: Computer "server2019' failed to join domain 'dev.domain.com' from its current workgroup 'WORKGROUP' with following error message: An internal error occurred.
At line:1 char:1
Add-Computer -DomainName dev.domain.com -OUPath "OU=$OU,dc=dev,dc=domain,dc=com" ...
- CategorvInfo :Operation5topped: (server2019:5tring) [Add-Computer]
. InvalidoperationException- FullvOualifiedErrorId:FailToJoinDomainFromworkgroup,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.AddComputerCommand
Here is the part of my script that does the join:
param (
[String]$OU,
[PSCredential]$Credential
)
$ErrorActionPreference="SilentlyContinue"
Stop-Transcript | out-null
$ErrorActionPreference = "Continue"
if ([Environment]::UserInteractive) {
if (!$OU) { $OU = Read-Host "Enter Resource Pool Name (exactly as appears in vCenter inventory)" }
if (!$Credential) { $Credential = Get-Credential -Message "Enter dev domain credentials" }
}
# Add Computer to Dev domain
try {
Add-Computer -DomainName dev.domain.com -OUPath "OU=$OU,dc=dev,dc=domain,dc=com" -ErrorAction stop -Credential $Credential
}
catch {
Write-Warning "Failed to join to domain."
Read-Host -Prompt "Press Enter to exit"
Throw $_
}
