RE: [Unattended] Joining a Domain and a specific OU?

Well I spoke too soon.  The initial boot up phase worked where it was
gathering info to build the unattended.txt file but windows bombs trying to
add it to the domain because of illegal characters.  Specifically the equals
"=" sign and comma ",".

"OU=COMPUTERS AND GROUPS, DC=DOMAIN, DC=COM" is what it is trying to use.

I could swear I tried it that way to begin with and then threw LDAP:// in
there but they both failed.  But who knows, it's Friday and my brain is mush
at this point. :)

Actually, that was a typo.  You just need to remove the LDAP://
