can not join to domain,environment located in datacenter
Hello,
i am not able to join to domain during rapid provisioning of desktops. I would like to give you overview of my setup
i have co-location datacenter rented for my demo purpose and have two rack mounted server which are using Datacenter network. Now i have complete environment on hyper-v including AD, SCVMM,Vworkspace and they use IP address which is being released by Datacenter Network router/Firewall.
Now my issue is since i have AD in the network and during rapid provisioning every desktop has to pick IP from DHCP running in Network(Datacenter), provide DNS which is assigned in configration and it is causing failure in sysprep of desktop and joining to domain.
My question is how can i make it possible without disturbing any network comfiguraton.
I tried to put DNS entry in Host file of desktop before making it as template but i could not succeed.
My concern is if i have to setup such small environment always such network issues will come and all purpose will fail. Is ther any script or way to make this porssible.
Please help me i am in middle of crating demo for my client.
Thanks in advance

Hello Mohit,
Did you try using fqdn for the domain name instead of the netbios name within the sysprep customization file ?
and did you check the username and password for the account which you are using inside the sysprep customization file ?

hello Dennis,
thanks for the screenshot but i think i dint mean to ask this, let me explain you more about my environment
I have two Servers hosted in Datacenter and the datacenter has it`s own DHCP server releasing it`s own IP range and DNS addresses. now when i provision a computer and when vworkspace tries to sysprep it, it failed to join to domain (web.local) since there is no DNS entries of my domain.
since my setup is in datacenter network i can not modify DHCP and push my DNS inplace of Datacenter DNS.
ro overcome this situation i tried to create a Private Network with different subnet (10.9.30.0/24) and sysprep started working. but i am not able to get my setup on the internet since full setup is in private network.
i need your help about how can i configure secure-it and CB to make it avaiable to outside users too..
thanks ..

Why don't you put your servers and VMs on the datacenter network and statically configure them to point to your DNS server?

hello Kelly,
I am more then happy if sysprep of rapidly provisioned computers works fine. My issue is because of not able to manually point Rapidly Provisioned computers to my DNS server.

Hey Kelly,
Thanks for link this was really helpful and knowledgable...but in my test environment where DHCP is providing DNS and domain name , i an unable to replace them with script.
Does it really work with windows 2008 R2 and replace DHCP provided Entries.?
