MachinePassword
is used with UnsecureJoin, which
is performed by using a null session with a pre-existing account.
This means there is no authentication to the domain controller when
configuring the computer account. It is done anonymously. The
account must have a well-known password or a specified
MachinePassword
. The well-known password is the first
14 characters of the computer name in lowercase.
This setting is valid only if UnsecureJoin is set to true.
