Event ID30132

Description

info

This error occurs during Hybrid Microsoft Entra Autopilot deployment when the device cannot locate or reach the domain controller, typically before device restart. The issue commonly appears when using the "Assign user" feature in Hybrid scenarios or when there are permission issues with the Offline Domain Join (ODJ) Connector.

Common Causes

🔄 Profile Configuration Issues

Deployment failures often stem from incorrect profile settings. "Assign user" feature enabled in hybrid scenarios. Microsoft Entra join conflicts with domain join. Profile configuration prevents proper domain joining. Understanding deployment scenarios is crucial for successful configuration.

🔐 Permission Problems

ODJ Connector complications can prevent successful domain join. Insufficient organizational unit permissions. Connector service lacks required privileges. Delegation settings need configuration. These permission factors require systematic verification and correction.

Resolution Steps

1️⃣ Option A: Fix Profile Configuration

Remove user assignment:

  1. Access Microsoft Intune admin center
  2. Navigate to Devices > Windows > Windows devices
  3. Select affected device
  4. Click ellipsis (...)
  5. Select "Unassign user"
  6. Verify Hybrid Microsoft Entra Autopilot profile assignment
  7. Retry OOBE

2️⃣ Option B: Configure ODJ Permissions

If Event ID 30132 appears, set OU permissions:

  1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers (DSA.msc)
  2. Right-click target organizational unit
  3. Select Delegate Control
  4. Follow delegation wizard:
    • Click Next > Add > Object Types
    • Select Computers checkbox
    • Enter ODJ Connector computer name
    • Validate with Check Names
    • Select "Create a custom task"
    • Choose computer objects options
    • Grant Full Control permissions

3️⃣ Verification

After implementing changes:

  1. Check ODJ Connector logs
  2. Verify permissions
  3. Test Autopilot deployment
  4. Monitor for successful completion

Best Practices

👨‍💻 For IT Administrators

Effective deployment requires attention to profile configuration. Implement comprehensive permission verification. Maintain documentation of connector requirements. Develop clear procedures for troubleshooting. Create systematic approaches to deployment verification. Consider implementing automated log monitoring.

🔄 For Deployment Management

Successful deployment requires proper scenario configuration. Develop clear processes for profile management. Maintain accurate documentation of permissions. Implement thorough testing procedures for deployment. Create comprehensive documentation of configuration steps.

Troubleshooting Tips

Configuration Management

When addressing deployment issues, focus on scenario verification. Check profile settings carefully. Verify ODJ permissions. Test deployment after changes. Monitor connector logs for errors.

Important Considerations

Hybrid deployments involve several critical factors. User assignment affects join type. Permissions must be properly delegated. Consider deployment scenario requirements. Monitor ODJ Connector status.

Additional Notes

💡 Check deployment scenario

🔐 Verify OU permissions

⚠️ Monitor ODJ logs

🔄 Review profile settings
