I recommended psexec as a possible alternative method of remotely running your install, instead of using a login script. There are several other options, which are all better than initiating an install from a login script. You can do it with a VB script something like this: (watch word wrap) On

Based on that, you *should* have other issues going on with your domain controllers. That SRV record is a way for the client (your workstation you're trying to join) to find the domain controllers in it's site. But it's not finding them as expected, and therefore is unable to contact the domain.
