[MDT-OSD] RE: Multiple Domains MDT
I assume you will need a domain admin level account that goes across all domains. I do this in the CustomSettings.ini: OSDComputerName=-%SerialNumber% JoinDomain= DomainOUs1=OU=Laptops,OU=,OU=North America,DC=,DC=,DC=com DomainOUs2=OU=Desktops,OU=,OU=North America,DC=,DC=,DC=com DomainOUs3=OU=Laptops,OU=,OU=North America,DC=,DC=,DC=com DomainOUs4=OU=Desktops,OU=,OU=North America,DC=,DC=,DC=com TimeZone=040 TimeZoneName=Eastern Standard Time This above gives you a drop down list in the wizard to select the OU you want to put the computer in. - I found this regarding a list of domains but have not tried it: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7dded5fe-c697-4cf7-b6ae-51397fa66793/option-to-choose-from-multiple-domains-not-ous-in-domainmembership-using-mdt?forum=mdt There may be some tweaking needed on the top suggestion or it may not work for you at all. But it something you can try. I am also setting the computer name, and time zone. Obviously these settings would change depending on where the local MDT server resides. Good luck.

[MDT-OSD] RE: Multiple Domains MDT
I wrote this response last week, but apparently it got blocked as spam and didn't make the list so I'm posting again from my Gmail account: So with pretty much all MDT properties it’s “first value wins”. If you put multiple domains in the rules (customsettings.ini) or anywhere else it will only use the first value that gets set. You can’t just throw it in the rules file with two values. When it sees the first one it would be set and then the second value would be ignored. You’ll need to tie in some logic to control that if you want to preset the domain. It’s not necessary that you do that though. You can just specify the domain during the Deployment Wizard. It’s the same screen as the OU. If you have it as a rule try taking it out of the rules file and just specify it during the Deployment Wizard. For the DomainOUlist.xml file you should be able to define multiple OUs. MDT doesn’t care what you put in there. As long as you save it in the scripts folder it will read the file. Just put both OUs in the file and specify the Distinguished Name of each OU. Like this: OU=SomeOU,DC=MySubDomain,DC=MyDomain,DC=Com OU=SomeOtherOU,DC=MyOtherSubDomain,DC=MyDomain,DC=Com -Brian
