Post Install rename/join not working as designed

hi all,
****************
Tested on a Dell D430 laptop
K2000 3.3.47466
****************

following my original thread - http://itninja.com/question/outlook-profile713, I have started making some tests in an XP image. My first attempt was to change machine name & join domain. According to this KACE KB - http://www.kace.com/support/kb/index.php?action=artikel&cat=54&id=763&artlang=en, I've made the following changes (in bold and size 2 font):

File: 1_wsname_x86.bat

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoAdminLogon /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d myadministratoraccount /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultPassword /t REG_SZ /d myadminpassword /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultDomainName /t REG_SZ /d localhost /f

c:\source\wsname.exe /N:$SERIALNUM /Logfile:C:\wsname.txt

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /v V1 /t REG_SZ /d "CMD /C \"C:\source\2_JoinDomain_x86.bat\"" /f

shutdown -r -t 5

********************************************

File: 2_JoinDomain_x86.bat

C:\source\Join_Domain.vbs mydomainname joinuseraccount joinuserpassword DNS-IP-ADDRESS

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoAdminLogon /t REG_SZ /d 0 /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d <NULL> /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultPassword /t REG_SZ /d <NULL> /f

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /v V1 /t REG_SZ /d "CMD /C \"rd /s /q C:\source\""

shutdown -r -t 5

File 1_wsname_x86.bat runs okish as it renames the machine with SERIALNUM value; however I believe it does not set the last reg key as file 2_JoinDomain_x86.bat is not called after reboot (maybe I have to up AutoLogonCount to greater than 3 ????)

Other behaviour is that the asset registered on K2000 points to a random name rather than the SERIALNUM

Help/comments are much appreciated...

post installation tasks:

Install .NET 1.1
Install .NET 2
NameJoinDomain
McAfee Agent 4.5
Kbox 1000 Agent 5.1.33

However no joy in joining domain....

winlogon key attached

Dir "source" is still under root of C:\ and has not been deleted.

The join account credentials are valid as I've tested on another machine.

Still unsure why it is not joining domain.

I will try to run this deployment on a desktop too.

Cheers
