ConfigMgr: OSD Domain Join fails when Computers CN/OU is chosen

Hi all,

When I build up an environment, I always try to keep everything tidy and as close to reallife as possible. This made me find out the fact that ConfigMgr's OSD domain join will fail when you choose for the Computers CN as a container instead of a "real" OU.

So, when you have a task sequence to install Windows (whatever version) within SMS 2003, SCCM 2007 or even SCCM 2012, if the domain join fails without an error in the Advertisement status, this is most likely the problem.

Open up the Apply Network Settings step in the Task Sequence and change the OU to a real OU, or to blank when the computers should be put in the Computers CN.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
