WDS | Install Vista with correct computer name



Hello!

I'm trying to make a complete installation of Windows Vista SP1 with no user
interaction (Zero-Touch). I have a Windows 2008 and Windows Deployment
Services installed. In my WDS server properties in Directory Services tab I
set name format HD-T%02#, so new computers should added to domain with
correct computer name.(So that new computers must be named HD-T01, HD-T02,
.... automaticaly) I also set a special OU in my Active Directory where new
computer
should be placed.

I also set in my unattended file an instruction to join to
domain:
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-UnattendedJoin"
processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"
language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS"
xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<Identification>
<Credentials>
<Domain>DOMAIN</Domain>
<Password>Password!@#</Password>
<Username>Administrator</Username>
</Credentials>
<JoinDomain>DOMAIN</JoinDomain>
</Identification>
</component>

and

<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86"
publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS"
xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<BluetoothTaskbarIconEnabled>false</BluetoothTaskbarIconEnabled>
<DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet>true</DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet>
<RegisteredOrganization>HD</RegisteredOrganization>
<RegisteredOwner>HD</RegisteredOwner>
<ShowWindowsLive>false</ShowWindowsLive>
<ComputerName>%MACHINENAME%</ComputerName>
</component>

so that computer took a right computer name.

Unfortunately all what I did - doesn't work correctly. Installation goes in
fully unattended mode, but computer joining with random name based on
<RegisteredOrganization> and <RegisteredOwner> and not in right OU in my
Active Directory.

Can you help me with this problem?
