MDT on non-domain server: domain required on capture?

Answered MDT on non-domain server: domain required on capture?

    In customsettings.ini and bootstrap.ini, we can set UserID and UserPassword and UserDomain. The way I read one of the help articles, if you were using MDT from a non-domain computer, you should set:

    UserID = PC Name\Username

    UserPassword = your password

    I was able to successfully deploy an image with this set like that. However, when I go to capture and manually add the information into the Capture Wizard window, it says that Domain is a required field. Should Domain be a non-required field, or can I put the Workgroup there instead?

    I I understaqnd your question correctly, you will need to make sure these lines are in your CustomSettings.ini file.

    SkipDomainMembership=YES
    JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP

    Yes, I set those for my Reference deployment.

    However, when I go to capture that reference computer with my separate capture sequence, it prompts for a REQUIRED Domain field in the Credentials screen, which is the screen where you provide credentials for saving your image.

    I'm asking if:

    1. the Domain field being required on that screen is a bug

    or

    2. I should just put the PC name of the non-domain joined MDT computer in there instead.

    Nobody has ever tested running MDT from a non-domain joined PC recently?

    Nobody else seemed to ever try this before, so in my environment I tried alot of combinations.

    At the end of the day, set the UserDomain to the workgroup pc's name if it isn't joined to the domain. So if my deployment server was called Server01, and it wasn't joined to a domain, and the credentials we are using for it are "administrator" and "@Password", then you'd set the following:

    SkipDomainMembership=YES

    UserID = administrator

    UserPassword = @Password

    UserDomain = Server01

    This works currently for MDT 2012 RTM, and hopefully it will not change in the future.
