Group (microsoft-windows-shell-setup-useraccounts-domainaccounts-domainaccountlist-domainaccount-group)
Group
specifies the local security group to which the domain account or the security group will be added. You can add a user to multiple groups by entering multiple group names separated by semicolons.
The Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup component recognizes the following English group names and sets the appropriate localized group name, regardless of the default language of the Windows image:
AccountOperators
Administrators
BackupOperators
CryptoOperators
DCOMUsers
Guests
IUsers
NetworkConfigurationOperators
PerfLoggingUsers
PerfMonitoringUsers
PowerUsers
PrintOperators
RemoteDesktopUsers
Replicator
SystemOperators
Users
Specify the account names and group names by using language-neutral names. The language-neutral account and group names are specified in English—for example, Administrators, Power Users, and Guest. This is required because the shell account settings are processed before a default user interface (UI) language is applied to the computer.
