Hello everybody,
im suffering from a problem that i could not solve yet.
In short, my UnattendJoin with an AutoUnattend.xml in WDS fails due to error 0x54b (1355, NO_SUCH_DOMAIN), but works fine when i join the domain manually directly after deployment without further configuration or limitations.
Well, i have to say that i build a Windows infrastructure inside of an Unix environment. I don't have access to configure the main DNS or DHCP. Thus i have to configure the DNS manually before the domain join and the WDS operates in standalone mode. I do so with the DNS Client component in the unattend.xml. In the Setupact log file i can see that the DNS configuration is successfully applied before setup is trying the domain join. After several retries setup stops the domain join with gdwError = 0x54b.
I could deal with it if the join would not work afterwards without any problems -.- I just can't take it anymore. Any suggestions?
Clients OS: Windows 7 Ent. x64
AD: Windows Server 2008r2 (DNS role installed)
WDS on Server 2012 with prestaged clients operating in standalone mode
with best regards,
strade
