Hi There, I'd like to ask if there are practices to automate join domain on the windows instances launched from openstack. What do you guys usually do? any working template of unattend.xml to join domain?

I've tried to prepare windows image, install cloudbase init, and sysprep it, and i insert the unattend.xml via openstack configuration drive. However there is no luck, the instance fails to complete the installation, with the Panther setuperr.log like the following (unattended join: netjoindomain attempt failed: 0x35) image description

I encountered this issue specific in automating join domain when deployed from openstack, when i try my unattend.xml directly on the hypervisor, it can do the job.

Below is my unattend.xml

Hello,

The domain name has to be resolved by a DNS server, which in your case it can be an Active Directory Domain Controller.

One possible solution to this issue(but this depends on your environment setup), is to add the AD Domain Controller ip to your neutron private network dns servers(if applicable).

If you can provide more information on your environment(networking stack used, if you have a dhcp server in the network), it would be helpful to better understand how to solve this issue.

Thanks.
