Values

Domain_name is a string. You can specify either a domain to join or a workgroup to assign, by using the JoinDomain or JoinWorkgroup settings, respectively. However, only one of these settings should be present in an answer file. If both exist in an answer file, the value for JoinDomain is used, and JoinWorkgroup is ignored. |
