Symptoms

When you try to deploy Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 to many client computers at the same time, the deployment fails on a small percentage of them. On client computers where the deployment fails, the operating system cannot establish a secure channel after the deployment or the offline domain join operation. Additionally, the following event is logged:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: NETLOGON
Event Category: None
Event ID: 3224
Description: Changing machine account password for account %1 failed with the following error: %n%2

Note When this issue occurs, you must remove the computer from the domain and then rejoin it to the domain.

Cause

This issue occurs because the client computer may receive the STATUS_DS_BUSY status when a user of the client computer tries to set the user account password. The expected behavior is that the client computer can recover from the STATUS_DS_BUSY status. However, in the situation described in the "Symptoms" section, the client computer cannot recover.
