Joining PVS target devices to the domain

In my last post I created a bunch of PVS target devices (the VMs that I previously copied from my MasterVM).

I now want to have Provisioning Server create the Active Directory computer accounts for the VMs and do its magic of making each VM a unique machine without requiring sysprep – this is a nifty feature.

In my last post I imported the PVS cmdlets (MCLI) so I won’t repeat that step.

$arrUpdatedVms is simply my array of VMs, and all I need is the target device name (also the VM name) so I am doing a split.

if ($joinDomain -match "yes") {
    write-progress -Id 1 "Creating domain computer accounts" -Status "Executing"
    foreach($e in $arrUpdatedVms){
        $vm = $e.Split(",")
        $deviceName = $vm[0]
        #Create Active Directory Computer Accounts
        & Mcli-Run AddDeviceToDomain -p deviceName=$deviceName, OrganizationUnit=$ou
    }
    write-progress -Id 1 "Creating domain computer accounts" -Completed $TRUE
}

That is it.  Really fast.
