Unsecure join domain procedure

 

can please explain me unsecure domain join procedure?

for the  test purposes  use credentials domain admin rights (secure join domain). unfortunately password stored in xml - not encrypted.
i try create local account guest rights onto pxe server (this security level enough me). image downloaded pxe server test workstation, on next step take trouble. error message appears cannot use special symbols in computer name (variable %machinename% not recognized in case). ok, i'm set name want , click next. program hangs 2 minutes , can see new message cannot join workstation domain credentinals (i think local pxe server account :) ) if use credentinals - fine, not normal of course

i read wds white paper , find unsecure join procedure. modify xml file (delete credentials section , paste unsecurejoin section same in example). see message prompt credentials when workstation must download image. happens because there no credentials in xml file. ok, i'm insert credentials section again , image downloaded, have same machine naming error. in http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsvista/en/library/05242ea8-7c20-4d94-bbec-c5344354bf271033.mspx?mfr=true find cannot use credentials , unsecurejoin @ same time

so how can download image , use unsecure join domain procedure @ same time? there no idea.

 

hi,

 

< how can download image , use unsecure join domain procedure @ same time? >

 

please understand "input credential download image wds" , "join computer domain" different section should define in unattended file.

 

to download image wds without message prompt credentials, can create following section in our unattended file, individual "unsecurejoin".

 

xml example

the following xml output shows complete windows deployment services deployment.

<imageinstall>

   <osimage>

      <willshowui>onerror</willshowui>

      <installto>

         <diskid>0</diskid>

         <partitionid>1</partitionid>

      </installto>

   </osimage>

</imageinstall>
