How to join automatically a domain?

[Pieter-Jan]

I've managed to create a custom image file and added it to my WDS image repository. I can use multicast to deploy this image to several computers. I also configured the naming policy and client account location (Properties->Directory Services).

 

The accounts are created, but the computers aren't joined to the domain automatically, they are just available in the WORKGROUP workgroup.

 

If I use an unattend.xml file, the naming policy doesn't work anymore.

 

Any hint on how to automatically join the domain?

It helps to join the domain, thanks! I had to use the secure join.

 

But now I have an other problem: the autonaming doesn't work anymore. During the wizard I had to supply a computername. Do you know how to get this working again?
