If I remember correctly, once a variable has been set you cannot change it. So, if you have conflicting values (I believe) that the first one set is the winner.
Were are you instructing MDT to join the computer to the domain? Is it through the GUI with the wizard, or elsewhere? What exactly do you have in the BootStrap.ini? There should only be a minimum of values set in that file, basically only what is needed to get the process started. Once the MDT wizard CustomSettings.ini takes over. Between the two, BootStrap is very minimal while CustomSettings does the heavy lifting.

Also, do any settings from bootstrap.ini carryover to either of these two? I am using a local account in bootstrap.ini to access the deployment share and the variable of workgroup is set. However I am trying to have the computer join the domain and I see in the log file that the join domain setting keeps getting changed back to workgroup. I am wondering if this could be coming from the bootstrap.ini? -Kyle On May 22, 2016 9:55 AM, "Phil Schwan" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: The CS.ini file provides a set of extra rules for the Gather (ZTIGather.wsf) function to process. This can include things like connecting to databases or providing logic around creating/combining new values. ZTIGather ultimately ends up creating or modifying a number of Task Sequence variables that the TS can use throughout execution. If you look at the ZTIGather.log file (or the section of smsts.log where it executes), you’ll see the variables being set in the TS environment. -Phil _________________________________________________________________ Phil Schwan | Technical Architect, Enterprise Windows Services Microsoft VTSP ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) Project Leadership Associates | 2000 Town Center, Suite 1900, Southfield, MI 48075 Lync: 312.756.1626<tel:312.756.1626> Mobile: 419.262.5133<tel:419.262.5133> www.projectleadership.net<http://www.projectleadership.net/> [inkedin_logo-19x20] <http://www.linkedin.com/in/philschwan> [witter-Logo1-20x20] <https://twitter.com/philschwan> [ordpress-logo3] <http://lab-geek.com/> [escription: Description: Description: Arrow email]Lead with Strategy.
