Posted January 20, 201213 yr This started out as an issue trying to deploy out VM's (Both Win7 Ent and S2008R2 Std) through VMWare vCenter - they previously were working flawlessly and then after I applied a few Windows updates they stopped working so flawlessly... I eventually narrowed it down to sysprep, specifically when I tell it to unattend join the domain. It fails 9 times out of 10, and I can't figure out what specifically makes it fail/work. I've tried the same sysprep configuration twice in a row (using snapshots after deleting the computer object) and the first one worked and the second one didn't. There are no third-party tools/software in the VM that I am testing with I installed the VM, updated it, enabled a few services/firewall rules and that was it. If I remove the Microsoft-Windows-UnattendedJoin section, it seems to work fine (kind of defeats the purpose of an unattended join though :-) ). Below are relevant log and sysprep.xml entries. I've tried this hotfix from MS, I've made sure that there are no orhpaned ProfileList registry keys, I've tried placing the XML in c:\windows\system32\sysprep\unattend.xml, according to the DHCP logs it is getting a lease, and wiresharking the machine shows that it was communicating with the domain controllers (a single ldap query for it's machine name) prior to bombing out... I don't know what else to check for :( Any ideas?
