Re: OSD-Failed to join the Domain and restore USM

That was the trick. I’m use to running the other switches so I won’t have to
run through the mini setup. If in the web cast Wally would have stated this
is important to use these switches or it would fail. Anyway no problem, you
solved my issue. Thanks!!

One more question: On the licensing tab, “Use this encrypted volume product
key”, I’m assuming this is where you would put the Enterprise Product Key or
does it really matter.

Thanks Again
