MDT 2013 - Capture WIM vs. Domain Join in rules.ini

Question

Hi,
Pre MDT2013 it was possible to have domain join settings in the rules.ini and run capture tasks.
rules.ini ->
JoinDomain=<my domain>
DomainAdmin=<domain join account>
DomainAdminDomain=<domain>
DomainAdminPassword=<password>
MachineObjectOU=OU=Computers Germany,OU=_Computers,OU=EU Offices,DC=bar,DC=foo,DC=com
On MDT2013, whenever I enable my domain join settings capture task will cancel shortly upon start.
Is this a desired behaviour?
How are you working aroun that?

Answer 1

Albert,
My recommendation would be to create a second Deployment Share and use that only for Build & Capture Task Sequences.
I blogged about this a while ago, and I think it would work well for you (Build and Capture Task Sequence)
I recommend re-building your image you want to capture each time.  This way you have a clean build with less patches on it (as the superseded patches will not be applied).
If you don't (or can't) do this, then you should try the following:
Assumptions
* Task sequence is named SYSPREPCAP
* I think from reading your previous posts that you don't want to join this to the domain, but you want all other TS's to join.
You'll want to try this in your CustomSettings.ini file.
[Settings]
Priority=TaskSequenceID, Default
[SYSPREPCAP]
JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP
[DEFAULT]
JoinDomain=<my domain>
DomainAdmin=<domain join account>
DomainAdminDomain=<domain>
DomainAdminPassword=<password>
