When you deploy a client operating system by using the Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 Operating System Deployment (OSD) Feature Pack, the client operating system joins a workgroup instead of a domain
You use the Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 Operating System Deployment (OSD) Feature Pack to deploy a client operating system. Before you deploy this operating system, you select the
Join the computer to a domain after new OS is applied check box on the
Network tab of the
Properties dialog box for the package. However, the deployed client operating system joins a workgroup instead of a domain.
You notice this problem when the following conditions are true:
- You use a pre-prepared Sysprep.inf file when you capture the operating system.
- A "JoinWorkgroup" entry appears in the "[Identification]" section of the Sysprep.inf file.
This problem occurs because of a conflict between the "JoinWorkgroup" entry in the Sysprep.inf file and the "JoinDomain" entry in the Sysprep.inf file.
To resolve this issue, do not put the "JoinWorkgroup" entry or the "JoinDomain" entry in the "[Identification]" section of the Sysprep.inf file.
If the "[Identification]" section of the Sysprep.inf file does not have these entries, the OSD Feature Pack generates the entry that is specified on the
Network tab of the
Properties dialog box.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
