Hi, perhaps that key was chosen on purpose ;)
I'm not using a domain, just a standard samba installation that works fine as its only used to serve windows2003 and windows2008 installation files. You could consider using a samba server (linux) to serve the installation files... Joining a domain from the unattended-linux-part could be possible (since its samba-client i guess) but i wouldn't have a clue on how to do it. regards ps: please always cc to the mailinglist aswell, just to keep all information available for other users aswell.
