I am not sysprep/windows expert, but from what I know:

The default username/password to join the domain is here:

$ bin/engine-config -a | grep -i SysPrepDefault
SysPrepDefaultUser:  version: general
SysPrepDefaultPassword: Empty version: general

But you can override in the sysprep, there is 'Alternate credetntials' checkbox,
and then you can override it.

Also be very carefull what you specify in OU, it MUST be correct RDN,
so I would try first without it and then if it works with it.

But if you are sure you did everything right, then please open bug at
bugzilla.redhat.com.

Thank you,
