When you execute the PowerShell command: “Add-Computer -DomainName “contoso.com” -Credential $domainjoinuser -Restart” remotely or in a non-interactive environment you may get the following error:

Computer 'XXXXX' failed to join domain 'contoso.com' from its current workgroup 'TEST' with following error message: Unable to update the password. The value provided as the current password is incorrect.

The root of the problem is (given that your password is correct) when running things interactively the domain is pre-appended and as such you only need to provide the user. But in a non-interactive environment, the domain is not known as such it’s a very simple fix, make sure you either include the short domain names like “contoso\DMAdmin” or the full FQDN “[email protected]. The error occurred for me by running an Azure custom script which called a PowerShell script non-interactively.
