Vista VM

I have installed XP and Vista as VMs to use with VDI. I created a template for each OS and deployed images for myself to use. XP is working fine. Ran into and issue with Vista. It is in workgroup mode. When I tried to join it to our domain it prompts me to join the domain but that process then times out. I get a DEP error. This is 32 bit Vista with SP1. Tested with firewall off and verified DNS setting. I can ping the DCs in the domain I'm trying to join. Do not see anything of value in the event logs of the DCs or Vista.

I thought this might be a Vista SP1 issue. I uninstalled VDM agent and was able to join the domain. After I joined the domain I installed the VDM agent again. Not good for template use.

I got exactly the same symptoms and can confirm I resolved this by uninstalling the VDM agent.

I was trying to manually add a Vista VM to a 2003 domain and kept getting the error about SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe being halted by DEP. Removed the VDM agent and surprise, surprise it's working. The faulting module was wscredf.dll_unloaded

Vista Business with Sp1 VDM agent 2.1.0-596

Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully it is something that gets corrected in future releases of the VDM agent.

Hi,

found out that if you leave the error message open for a while, the computer still joins the domain, I had my Computeraccount precreated in a specific OU.
