    Windows 10 setup - Selecting "Domain Join Instead" at MS login screen causes an endless loop


    I recently reinstalled Windows on a new Lenovo Thinkpad laptop. After the initial OOBE steps of setting the region and connecting to the internet, it reaches the stage where it asks to sign into a Microsoft account to continue. When I select "Domain Join Instead" to set up a local account instead, it immediately loops me back to the Microsoft account sign in page. I do not get an error message, it just loads for a second then goes right back to asking me for a Microsoft account to sign in.

    :)

    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?

    Domain Joined Windows 10 - Fast User Switching


    Hi

    I recently joined my HP Envy Recline 27 k210na which was upgraded to windows 10 to a Windows 2012 R2 Domain. But have an issue.

    Once I login with a user account, domain or non domain, I am unable to use the fast user switching. When choosing to switch account, I will be taken to the login screen, and when I select 'Other' to login with another account, it takes me to the existing user's password entry screen.

    If I sign out, and select 'Other' to login as a different user, I get the same issue. I have to reboot the machine to be able to login with another user account.

    I restored the pc to factory defaults and upgraded again, then rejoined the domain, but the problem is still there.

    Please help
