Watchdog fails Domain join - Which OU is it testing

Copper Contributor

Hi,

 

We are going through the process of onboarding Windows 365 Enterprise. We've testedthe VNET's and connection to on premise. DNS etc all pass. However fails on Domain join test.

 

The Delegate control on the domain is pretty strict, the domain admin account we are using to domain join has delegate control to allow domain join in this specific OU. We specify the OU when we set up the test connection. We've even tested creating a computer object in the OU and that works fine. However Watchdog fails the domain join test. 

When it does its testing, does it test the OU you specify or does it test something like the Computers OU, which is restricted?   Can't find any documentation on it.

 

Thanks.

It will test the OU that you specify when setting up the OPNC; if you do not set an OU in the OPNC, then it will be default use the Computer container. How did you test creating a computer object in the OU? Did you create a VM in the Azure portal on the same subnet as defined in the OPNC and try doing a domain join with the Add-Computer cmdlet (which allows you to specify an OU and the djoin account)? I have had a few of my customers do this test to find out they had the djoin creds wrong; a few others had a typo in the OU DN. In some rare cases you might find that you can't talk to the DC from the subnet even though DNS will pass. Make sure your DNS settings on the VNET point to a DC or appliance that can resolve the domain name you enter in the OPNC.
