I've been successfully using the same task sequence to deploy Windows 7 for 
almost two years. Last week the AD guys added some new domain controllers. Now 
~50% of the time my machines are failing to join the domain. I see some info in 
the netsetup.log but can't pin it down to a root cause. Anyone seen this before?
