Error: Desktop Pool VM, Domain join failed with [Error Code:2732] “An account with the same name exists in Active Directory. Re-using the account was blocked by security policy.” 

Possible Cause: This error is because of the additional protections introduced by MS to prevent domain join operations from reusing an existing computer account. For details, please refer to the Microsoft article KB5020276—Netjoin: Domain join hardening changes

Possible Fix: To fix the issue, please create a new or existing group policy that applies to all domain controllers, add the join service account used in the Workspot template to a member of a trusted owner, under  

Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options, double-click Domain Controller: Allow computer account re-use during domain join.
