This has been driving me crazy for almost a month and any advice would be much appreciated. I am running through a task sequence that applies a "gold" Win XP SP3 image and adds it to our domain using a service account in the Apply Network Settings step. During mini-setup, I can see it tries to add the machine, but it fails every time and defaults to WORKGROUP. Our Windows 7 task sequence uses the same service account and works perfectly, so I don't believe it is an issue with account permissions. We have double and triple-checked the password in the XP sequence, still nothing. I've tried using a custom sysprep.inf file, no dice. I've even duplicated the working Win7 sequence, replaced the image in Apply OS with our WinXP image, and it still fails. It appears that network drivers are being applied because after mini-setup the task sequence resumes with a proper IP address and continues downloading and installing packages. Here are the results of my netsetup.log: 05/11 16:03:40 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 05/11 16:03:40 NetpValidateName: checking to see if 'WORKGROUP' is valid as

Hi, According to your log file: NetUseAdd to \\PGH-DCW-01.<domain.com>\IPC$ returned 1326 As far as I recall "1326" means: "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password".

Hi, According to your log file: NetUseAdd to \\PGH-DCW-01.<domain.com>\IPC$ returned 1326 As far as I recall "1326" means: "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password". I forgot to mention that I looked up error 1326 as well, so I tried to rule out an incorrect password. If it works fine for Windows 7, why would it fail on a duplicated task sequence?

Does the machine already have an account in the domain at the time of deployment? Do you still get the same issue on a bare metal install for XP? 1326 is definitely a "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.". Have you tried another Domain Admin account just to see if it works?

Hi, I concur with Jeff. Error code 1326 means “Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.” If you see error 1326 in netsetup.log then this authentication failed issue could be wrong password or user specified for adding machine to domain. Or the machine account already exist in AD. Please verify that the password specified in Task Sequence for adding machine in domain was right. Also please check if there is already one machine in DC with that name. If so, please delete the old computer account from domain and run the task sequence again .

Hi there, I know this was almost a year ago but I wondered if / how you ever resolved this. I've got exactly the same issue. W7 joins the domain fine but XP with the same service account fails. Checked all passwords etc. The netsetup.log shows the correct account is being used and that the OU is valid. The only other difference I'm seeing is mine dies with 06/21 10:37:53 NetUseAdd to \\abc123.abc.com\IPC$ returned 1909 06/21 10:37:53 NetpJoinDomain: status of connecting to dc '\\abc123.abc.com': 0x775 06/21 10:37:53 NetpDoDomainJoin: status: 0x775 Cheers Simon

Hi Simon, I think the problem was that the domain join account password contained some invalid/escape characters that Windows XP minisetup had trouble passing, which caused the domain join to fail. We stripped out some of the suspect characters from the password and this fixed the problem.

Hi Nick I think that was my problem aswell. Used a different account with a less complex password and it seems to be fine. Cheers Simon
