Issue/Introduction

During image deployment, and at the process where the machine is joined to the domain, the process fails and the following error is seen on the task:

GeneralException occured 'Failed to get Deployment Solution agent', return code 0, system error 'The object is not loaded (0x80043100)'

This is an intermittent issue.  Running the imaging job again always seems to resolve the issue.

The PECTAgent logs show the following:

Description:

Environment

ITMS 8.6 RU2

DS 8.6 RU2

Resolution

In this case the VPN pipe was being saturated at the time the machine was trying to join the domain and this appears to have been causing Active Directory issues.
