We're in the process of setting up a second 2-node Kepler-64 cluster when we hit this when running the Add-Computer PowerShell to domain join a node:
Add-Computer : Computer 'S2D-Node03' failed to join domain 'Corp.Domain.Com from its current
workgroup 'WORKGROUP' with following error message: The parameter is incorrect.
At line:1 char:1
+ Add-Computer -Domain Corp.Domain.Com -Credential Corp\DomainAdmin -OUPath …
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (S2D-Node03:String) [Add-Computer], InvalidOperation
Exception
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : FailToJoinDomainFromWorkgroup,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.AddComp
uterCommand
The PowerShell line it's complaining about is this one:
Add-Computer -Domain Corp.Domain.Com -Credential Corp\DomainAdmin -OUPath "OU=S2D-OpenNodes,OU=S2D-Clusters,DC=Corp,DC=Domain,DC-Com" -Restart
Do you see it ? ;)
The correct PoSh for this step is actually:
Add-Computer -Domain Corp.Domain.Com -Credential Corp\DomainAdmin -OUPath "OU=S2D-OpenNodes,OU=S2D-Clusters,DC=Corp,DC=Domain,DC=Com" -Restart
When specifying the OUPath option if there is any typo in that setting the nondescript error is "The parameter is incorrect."
We always prefer to drop a server or desktop right into their respective OU containers as that allows our Group Policy settings to take giving us full access upon reboot and more.
