Join a Domain Win7 x64

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I have this script below that worked under Windows XP Pro, but on a Windows 7 x64 it will ONLY join the workgroup and not the domain.  If anyone has an idea what is happening I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

;**************************************************************************************************************
;****************************************           Join Domain           ****************************************
;**************************************************************************************************************
SplashTextOn("", "Attempting to Join ABC.LOCAL Domain... Please wait one moment...", 600, 44,-1,160, 1, "Arial", 14)
Sleep(5000)

Global Const $JOIN_DOMAIN  = 1
Global Const $ACCT_CREATE = 1


$strAdminAccount = "adminaccount" 
$strAdminPass = "adminpass"

$strComputer = "."
$strDomainName = "abc.local"

$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & $strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
$colCompSystems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem")

For $objCompSystem In $colCompSystems

    $intJOIN_DOMAIN = $objCompSystem.JoinDomainOrWorkgroup($strDomainName, $strAdminPass, $strDomainName & '\' & $strAdminAccount, '', $JOIN_DOMAIN + $ACCT_CREATE)
  
    If $intJOIN_DOMAIN = 0 Then
       SplashTextOn("", "Joined computer to " & $strDomainName & " domain... - " & $intJOIN_DOMAIN, 600, 44,-1,160, 1, "Arial", 14)
       Sleep(5000)
   Else
       MsgBox(0, @ScriptName, "Unable to join computer to " & $strDomainName & " domain. - " & $intJOIN_DOMAIN)
       Sleep(5000)
   EndIf

Next

Hi, @Alias, welcome to the forum. Have you tried just using the Active Directory UDF and the _AD_JoinDomain function? Might ease your AD frustrations.

We have removed a few bugs in the latest version of the AD UDF so it should work as described in the example script.

Before I found Waters UDF, I used something like this for Win7 32 and 64 bit joins...

 

$sDomain = "MyDomain"
$SvcPassword = "MyPassword"
$SvcUsername = "MyDomainUserName"
$JOIN_DOMAIN = 1
$ACCT_CREATE = 2

$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & @Computername & "\root\cimv2")
        $colCompSystems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem")
        For $objCompSystem In $colCompSystems
            $intJoinDomain = $objCompSystem.JoinDomainOrWorkgroup($sDomain, $SvcPassword, $sDomain & '\' & $SvcUsername, '', $JOIN_DOMAIN + $ACCT_CREATE)
        Next

 

Now for just about all AD stuff, I uses Waters UDF.

I just sysprep Windows 7 machines before imaging them so I don't run into these situations.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Sysprep runs only if the computer is a member of a workgroup, not a domain. If the computer is joined to a domain, Sysprep removes the computer from the domain.

First I've heard of this, I haven't had any issues using Sysprep and joining them to the domain. Getting the computer to prompt for a name before joining was the hard part.
