This is my BootStrap.ini [Settings] Priority=Default [Default] DeployRoot=\\10.1.200.10\DeployShare$ UserID=mdt UserPassword=********** UserDomain=WORKGROUP SkipBDDWelcome=Yes
I was trying to keep our original task sequence joining a workgroup because those computers are still using Novell. The new task sequence is supposed to join our domain as we are migrating to Active Directory. I had tried to make this happen with Task Sequence Variables, customsettings.ini, and even just powershell. I basically gave up on having the sequences do this automatically. At this point I will just have my techs use the Lite touch wizard to select workgroup if its for novell or leave the default domain join, which I now have set by customsettings.ini for all Task Sequences.
