Group (microsoft-windows-shell-setup-offlineuseraccounts-offlinedomainaccounts-offlinedomainaccount-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

• Guests

• PowerUsers

• PrintOperators

• 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.
