Join domain vb scripts fail
Hello guys,
After an upgrade of our K2000 about 6 months ago we noticed that our customized "join domain and OU.vbs" post-deployment task didn't work anymore. Now I've finally got my head above water to troubleshoot this but it's seems to go much deeper than just our vbs-script failing. As I tried the kace-bundled example: join domain and so on, I couldn't get any of them to work properly. I'm using domain admin account and now the most simple of the scripts, the "join domain.vbs", and it keeps throwing me a "The system cannot find the file specified".
I use parameter "join_domain.vbs our.domain administrator password
The second thing I've noticed is that these pre-upgrade was defined as "windows script" tasks. Now all of a sudden, they are changed to "application" type. Can anyone help me getting these native vb-scripts to work again?

Yes VBScab you are right. If you look at the example the parameters are listed and the script will run with cscript in front. You do not need the %SystemRoot% Environment Variable anymore.

Well, I did run this now as an application with the "cscript join_domain.vbs <my domain> <admin user> <admin password>", the green check appears and the deployment continues but the client still didn't join the domain. Any suggestions? - szo850 9 years ago

We´ve extend our script to write a logfile and a event, and we have to change the FJoinOptions of the JoinDomainOrWorkGroup to use JOIN_DOMAIN+ACCT_CREATE+ACCT_DELETE instead of JOIN_DOMAIN+ACCT_CREATE.
Do you know the ReturnValue?
0 = "Succeeded", 5 = "Access is denied", 87 = "The parameter is incorrect", 110 = "The system cannot open the specified object", 1323 = "Unable to update the password", 1326 = "Logon failure: unknown username or bad password", 1355 = "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted", 2224 = "The account already exists", 2691 = "The machine is already joined to the domain", 2692 = "The machine is not currently joined to a domain" - aragorn.2003 9 years ago
The join domain script should be an application task. 3.6 is the first version that introduced the task type "Windows Scripts" Windows scripts accept .vbs, .wsh and java script files. However, through version 3.7SP1 this type of task does not accept parameters (which is why the join domain script is not a windows script task.

Ah, that's why my parameters are gone as soon as I hit save.... I can't download the K2 Advisor without a Dell Software login, my kace support login work either. The best sollution would be if I could just delete these tasks and import the original tasks again somehow and start from scratch.
Worth mentioning is that our customized script that stopped working after the upgrade was being run without any parameters as a windows script. - szo850 9 years ago
