JoinWorkgroup (Standard 8 Module Reference)

Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the JoinWorkgroup setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).

This setting contains a valid NetBIOS name that specifies the name of the workgroup to assign to a computer during Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8) Setup.

Do not create an empty value for this setting.

You can use either the JoinDomain setting to specify a domain to join or the JoinWorkgroup setting to assign a workgroup. However, you can use only one of these settings in a configuration file. If both exist in a configuration file, the value for JoinDomain is used, and JoinWorkgroup is ignored.

Modules

The following table shows the modules that you can apply this setting to. In Image Configuration Editor (ICE), you can follow the corresponding path to set this setting for a module.
