Can rename computer but cant join domain
I can successfully install a scripted install of windows 7 and get it to rename the computer with wsname and looking up the namedb.dat file and mac addresses to assign the name.
But i cant get it to join the domain.
I assume after wsname renames the computer it needs to reboot so i put in /reboot at the end of the command, but once the computer reboots it does not join the domain.
I have set the unnatend.xml file to auto login 2 times.
The post-installation taks looks like this
Rename Computer
Join Domain
Any ideas what i might be doing wrong? has anyone else been able to use the included examples from kace?

I don't think the example script that is included works in Windows 7. What you can do is join the domain in the unattend.xml file, and then in WSName use /rcid command (rename computer in domain) with appropriate username/password. Let us know how it goes.

You may need to download a newer version of WSNAME from the website (link is included in naming rule detail page), as the newest version supports Windows 7 (and 64-bit platforms).

I ended getting it to work a couple of ways.
Join the domain with wrong computer name then get wsanme to rename in the domain as a post install task.
Chain reboots using reg key inserts into the run part of the registry.
