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.
