Yes, this is normal to my knowledge. The intent here is build a reference VHD, not a virtual machine. Thus, just like with reference images, you shouldn’t be joining the domain.

Is this normal? Hard to join a domain without one. I removed the one item in the task sequence that pointed to a network location, but not sure how to go about the domain part.

Mine keeps failing. I created a new task sequence with the option of using it for a Virtual Disk so it has that shutdown command at the end of it. I can create a VM on the same Hyper-V server with the same basic task sequence and works flawlessly. It appears to fail during the deployment and never gets to the creation of the VHD.
