Windows 10: Why did the username "setup" appear having getting off of domain and restarting computer?

A computer was having domain issues, I took it off the domain and computer restarted. The only username option is now "setup." I have shutdown and restarted computer several times and no other options are available. Please help.

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?

Unable to get computer to join domain through WDS

FYI:

I found a work around for this by using a script under C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd file.

When windows is done setting up, it will look through the scripts folder to find a SetupComplete.cmd file, if it finds one, it will execute the file.

SetupComplete.cmd calls the joindomain.ps1 powershell script:

powershell.exe -nologo -executionpolicy bypass -noprofile -file "C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\jd.ps1"

By default, powershell does not allow running custom PS scripts, which is why we need to bypass it.

Joindomain.ps1 joins a computer to the domain:


$domain = "test.com"
$password = "Mypass" | ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText -Force
$username = "$domain\administrator"
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($username,$password)
$ouPath="OU=workstations,DC=test,DC=com"
add-computer -Credential $credential -DomainName $domain -OUPath $ouPath -restart -force
powershell -noprofile -command "&{ start-process powershell -ArgumentList '-noprofile -file C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\joindomain.ps1' -verb RunAs}"
