Here's what I use to both join domain and drop into a specific OU on both Win7 and Win10 deployments.

Post-install task parameter (credentials must have domain joining permissions):

cscript join_domain_and_OU.vbs my.domain.com domainacct password OU=x,DC=x,DC=x,DC=x

"Join_Domain_and_ou" VBS Script:

Const JOIN_DOMAIN = 1
Const ACCT_CREATE = 2
Const ACCT_DELETE = 4
Const WIN9X_UPGRADE = 16
Const DOMAIN_JOIN_IF_JOINED = 32
Const JOIN_UNSECURE = 64
Const MACHINE_PASSWORD_PASSED = 128
Const DEFERRED_SPN_SET = 256
Const INSTALL_INVOCATION = 262144

If WScript.Arguments.Count < 4 or WScript.Arguments.Count > 5 Then
WScript.Quit
Else
strDomain = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
strUser = WScript.Arguments.Item(1)
strPassword = WScript.Arguments.Item(2)
strOU = WScript.Arguments.Item(3)

'set DNS IP address
If WScript.Arguments.Count = 5 Then
strDNSIP = WScript.Arguments.Item(4)
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.shell")
objShell.Run "netsh int ip set dns ""local area connection"" static "& _
strDNSIP &" primary",0,0
End If

End If


Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strComputer = objNetwork.ComputerName

Set objComputer = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & _
"\root\cimv2:Win32_ComputerSystem.Name='" _
& strComputer & "'")
ReturnValue = objComputer.JoinDomainOrWorkGroup(strDomain, _
strPassword, strDomain & "\" & strUser, strOU, _
