Could you elaborate more on how I would implement this? I think this would be a 
good idea.

Thanks,

Mike

Why install MDT when a simple Powershell script does the same thing?

$TSEnv = New-Object -COMObject Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment
$CompName = $TSEnv.Value("OSDComputerName")
Switch -Wildcard ($CompName) {
    "StartsWith*" { $TSEnv.Value("OSDDomainOUName") = 
"LDAP://OU=TestOU,DC=TestDomain,DC=com" }
    "StartsWith2*" { $TSEnv.Value("OSDDomainOUName") = 
"LDAP://OU=TestOU,DC=TestDomain,DC=com" }
}

I don't have any ability to test this easily, but it should work.

No MDT here, so I believe that’s not an option.

I don’t have that many rules, simply computer name patter, but I use 
customsettings.ini and a userexit script to set the OU variable (can’t remember 
the exact name) and let the regular domain join step do that using the variable.
So, the script defines the variable, the step uses it. No (complicated) 
conditions required.

Subject: [mssms] OSD - WMI query for computer name not working as expected

We have a domain join step that evaluates conditions based on an HTA the tech 
fills out before imaging begins. Depending on these conditions, the computer 
joins the domain and is placed in the appropriate OU. There are 3 main 
conditions we evaluate:

OSDRole – TS variable, can be lab, staff, etc.
OSDBusinessArea – Another TS variable, based on department

These evaluate fine in our conditions when joining the domain. But the other 
condition does a WMI query for the computer name. Unfortunately, at this point 
in the imaging process, the computer name in WMI is MININT-XXXXXXX, so it 
evaluates as FALSE.

Do we need to move this step down further in our TS? I don’t know how else to 
evaluate the computer name (OSDComputerName is available, but there is no 
“LIKE” statement).

Any help appreciated!
