Hi there,

because of several reasons i tried to setup a task sequence for our windows 7 OSD to

1. unjoin the domain (=join workgroup) with a powershell-script and

2. uninstall configmgr client.

so here is my script for unjoining the domain:

$WID=[System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent();
$WIP=new-object System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal($WID);
$adminRole=[System.Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator;
If ($WIP.IsInRole($adminRole)){
}else {
  $newProcess = new-object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo 'PowerShell';
  $newProcess.Arguments = $myInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
  $newProcess.Verb = 'runas'
  [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start($newProcess);Write-Host 'Prompting for Elevation'
  exit
}
#####################
# Add Scripts Below #
#####################
$Workgroup = "private" #IF you want to add computer to domain edit here(Domain name)
$Password = "******" | ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText -Force
$Username = "$domain\username"
$Credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($Username,$Password)
Add-Computer -WorkGroup $Workgroup -Credential $credential -Force

the script does work when executed manually but does not work in task sequence.

also i am not quite sure in which order both steps should be executed and if this is really possible!

does anyone have experience with unjoining the domain in the task sequence?

Use psexec.exe to execute that script in system context and see if it still working. Also keep in mind that you won't see a popup when using a TS. 

yes executing the script did not work through psexec...
