I’d have a look at netsetup.log There it’ll show which OU with what account it tries to join and why it failed.

The machine fails to join to the domain. The NIC driver is injecting properly as part of the installation process. The SMSTS.log doesn't tell me much other than the fact that the Apply Network Settings step executed. In our previous SCCM 2007 environment we always had to create the computer object in the domain before imaging. That was the only way we could make t join during OS deployment process. Is this mandatory? I have a service account setup to join PCs to the domain. I have validated the password and permissions. Am I missing something here? Seems nuts to have to put the computer in AD before machines will join to the domain as part of OSD. I appreciate any input.
