Quick question about Domain Join

[poikarz]

Hi guys,

Quick question about domain join (I am testing it on personal license to convince company to buy one ):

I have made custom image with AD enabled and also unattended installation - disk partitioning works perfectly, local account creation same. But have issues with domain join - during installing it's stuck, when I have opened task manager I can see djoin.exe and it won't go through for quite some time.

My account have permissions to domain join, yet what I noticed is that my password in the xml is kept in plain text. Is that correct? Is there a way for making some kind of log to see what's going on?

NTLite supports two types of Unattended local domain joins:

• Unsecure join, where no password is required, but your computer is assigned a random hostname
• Secure join, where a plain-text password is provided in the XML, but your computer is assigned a pre-determined hostname

The alternative is to write your own custom script to run during Post-Setup, with manual join commands. Though that's not necessarily secure because your script might be publicly readable with credential info.

If there's a problem, check the setupact.log & setuperr.log files under:

\Windows\Panther\UnattendGC​
