Windows XP to Windows 7 Refresh - Existing AD Accounts

[kcdinga]

I apologize if this has been talked about, but I have searched around quite a bit and have not found the answer I am looking for.

 

Is there a way to have the machine join the domain using an existing object in AD? Here is the network portion of the task sequence I am using:

 

1. Migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7 using SCCM 2007 sp2 OSD

2. Starting the process from an advertised task sequence on the machine to be refreshed

3. Apply Network Settings - Join a Domain: premconf.com Domain OU: LDAP://OU=New Builds,OU=Premiere Computers,DC=premconf,DC=com

Account: domain account we use to join machine to domain.

 

I assume this is happening because I am specifying the OU...I did see a post on this site that talked about using a variable for the Domain OU, but was unsure if that would fix this issue.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

When a computer object already excists in the AD, it will stay where it was during the deployment.

So even though I have a specific OU selected in the network settings, it will override if it sees an object in a different OU?

 

Thanks for your help

Its more like that it can't do anything with it, but the result is the same
