yalawadi Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hello, Anyway I can unjoin a machine before imaging it? We sometimes reimage the same machine but under a different name depending on the department, which causes duplicates in AD. When we reimage and rename the same machine and join it to AD, it adds the same machine but under a different name. Can we run a task before the image is applied to unjoin the domain? Without asking the techs to manually remove the machine from AD before imaging? Something like: cmd.exe /C wmic.exe /interactive:off ComputerSystem Where name="%computername%" call UnJoinDomainOrWorkgroup UserName="ad" Password="password" The above command works in a normal cmd.exe interface when I run it inside windows. How can I do that through smartdeploy? --Yousef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartDeploySupport Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hi Yousef, Unfortunately, this is not a capability of SmartDeploy. We do include the ability to execute Tasks in WindowsPE right before the image is applied, but it would not be feasible to disjoin a computer from the domain in this context, as this command would need to be executed within the full Windows OS prior to deployment.

yalawadi Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Can we at least have a task that run before we even begin the imaging process that reminds the techs? Like a popup message saying " make sure you unjoin". What about customising the boot.wim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartDeploySupport Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hi Yousef, There's really not a practical option for this, unfortunately - a preimage Task can be any command line, but it only executes once you've initiated the deployment. So creating a conditional task like you're describing, or one which waits for user input before proceeding, really wouldn't be supported.
