  1. Can't add or work school account on domain computers


    Got into the office this morning and tried to add a work account to a user's computer. It no longer allows me to and gives me the message below. How can I fix this so my users are allowed to add accounts under their profiles?I added two group policy objects yesterday for an IKEv2 VPN deployment, but nowhere in the policy did I define anything about adding accounts for work or school.

    :)

    UnattendedJoin error: failed to find the domain data (0x6e)

    Thanks for the suggestion! I don't want to add a domain account, as this is a generic unattended install that will be used for all company machines. Do you think it's possible that the computer would join the domain if, instead of using UnattendedJoin in specialize, I used your steps but left out the specific account?

    The other thing I was thinking was to use a generic account to allow the domain join during the specialize step. I added a machine password in the UnattendedJoin component, and instead of getting the error listed above, I got an authentication error, which makes me think I could probably do a secure join instead of the unsecure join.

    Thoughts?

  3. Personal Laptops and school domains

    I have a personal laptop they i use solely for school and I'd like to print right from it. It's a bit more complicated as my school uses papercut to manage its printers. I don't know if a workgroup will work because i can't seem to get the paper cut client
    on my computer so joining the school domain might be the only other way. If there is another way then I'd appreciate the input. If not then I was wondering exactly what control the domain will have over my computer.

    My main concerns are whether the domain will be able to restrict me from accessing my local admin accounts to leave the domain whenever I want to. Also if they can't then can they moniter what I do on my local accounts? And finally, do they have the power
    to wipe my computer.

    Any help is appreciated,

    Thanks

  4. Can't add or work school account on domain computers

    Can't remove a Work or School account from Windows 10

    I found I could not delete the work or school account, because it was likely controlled by a domain controller, which I could no longer log onto.

    I found the solution below DOES work, as described by the user Pvandamcom2

    Steps:

    - In Control Panel, User Accounts, select your account

    - Select "instead log on with a local account" and follow the steps

    - Then logon, go back to accounts, and go to Access to work and school account

    - Click Disconnect for the Work or School Account. The work account dissappeared

    - Last step, go back and change logon to be with Microsoft Account instead of
    local account

    The work account is no longer displayed
