    I am deploying an image to automatically join a computer to the domain and also make it part of a specific OU, but I noticed that after I join that while the user is part of the domain that I can't login with any network user because I get the following error:

    "the security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship"

    I verified that the time is within 5 minutes of the domain controller and the user I provided in the answers file is a domain admin so they should have no issue adding to the domain, but when I went to the domain controller while the computer added itself with the name provided the name added under the OU was the original name of the machine (i.e. WIN-....)  I think that this is the source of the trust relationship error I'm confused why it is adding to the domain properly, but no the OU.

    This is a known issue if you leave the ComputerName line in the UNATTEND.XML file. If you remove that line, during the build process, you will be prompted to enter a computer name. The entry for computer name in the XML file is as below. Just remove the line that is highlighted.

    Check the netsetup.log to see what happens when the computer joins the domain.

    The netsetup.log is located in C:\Windows\debug
